Dublin Ladies Hall of Fame Award

    On tuseday 24th November John Sheridan was deservingly inducted in to the Dublin Ladies Football Hall of Fame.  The Freedom of the City for John Sheridan, he has long been the lord mayor of Stillorgan.  This was a well deserved accolade for gentleman John, Mr Ladies Football at Kilmacud Crokes.  He didn't expect it, even when the PRO Finbarr O'Driscoll was a few paragraphs into the citation, John never realised it was him they were talking about.

     He's a former Chairman of the Dublin Ladies Football County Board.   He achieved much in that role.  He's the chief organiser of the biggest fundraiser of the year, the Dublin Ladies GAA Golf Classic.  You couldn't calculate all the hours and days he has given to Crokes and Dublin.  And he's still doing it!

     The Kilmacud U14 Seven's competition has grown from strength to strength and now is amoung the most popular in the country.  Sevens Saturday at Crokes captures the essence of what John is all about.   Up with the dawn and toiling until the last goal has been scored, the last player has been fed and the last trophy given out.  As he was presented with his award there was a touching postscript from all at Pairc De Burca.  It came from all the hundreds of players he has encouraged over the years.                                     It simply read:             JS WE LOVE YOU.
