Leinster GAA Convention Report 2013-2014 1 The proudest man in Croke Park last Summer was Na Fianna’s Jimmy Gray when he was called on to present the Bob O’Keeffe Cup to Dublin Hurling Captain, Johnny McCaffrey, after their victory over Galway. In 1961 Jimmy played in goal for Dublin when they defeated Wexford in their last Dublin Captain Stephen Cluxton, raises the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship Final win. Little did anyone know then that it Delaney Cup in triumph at Croke Park in July 2013 would be a long 52 years before the Dubs would repeat that victory. Well worth waiting for, Jimmy!
