Bizarre mix up as Cuala given wrong trophy after Leinster win

Ever hear that story about the 1966 World Cup?

The one where the trophy was stolen and found by a dog? There was a documentary one time about the man that had to swap the fake Jules Rimet trophy with the real one. It was all quite mad. Trophy mix-ups happen for all different reasons, it's been happening for years evidently. Well, when Cuala climbed up the steps of O'Moore Park to lift their second successive Leinster Hurling Championship it wasn't the same trophy as the one that they received 12 months prior. It was the ever on the ball Des Cahill from RTÉ that broke the news of the mishap, the famed presenter turned dancing supremo is a former chairman for the club. https://twitter.com/sportsdes/status/937431369524932609 As Cahill notes, it seems the be the trophy for the Leinster Under-21 Football championship, a trophy that a certain Con O'Callaghan got his hands on earlier this year. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/937342705553891329 Now, the question is: Do the two trophies look similar? Everyone can make their own mind up on that one. Whatever the case there was no harm done and the players no doubt celebrated as much with the under-21 trophy as they would have with their Senior Hurling trophy. The Dalkey side now looks to retain their All-Ireland crown after beating Ballyea in the St.Patrick's day final. So far, they haven't put a foot wrong and they cruised past Offaly outfit Kilcormac/Killoughey in Sunday's Leinster final as they ran out 14 points winners. It capped off one of the greatest individual years in GAA history for Con O'Callaghan, the only competition that the 21-year-old competed in and didn't win was the Dublin Senior Football championship. Cuala will next play Liam Mellows in February in the All-Ireland semi-final. The Galway outfit caused a huge shock in Sunday's championship decider as they beat Gort to win their first county title in 47 years and will now turn their focus to Cuala on 10 February. The other fixture consists of the beloved Slaughtneil as they face 2016 All-Ireland champions Na Piarsaigh.
