The New Dan Rooney Perpetual Trophy for The Croke Park American Football Classic has been unveiled today! This is our biggest trophy yet using a piece of Bog Yew aged at over 4500 years made in Co Longford and our base structure in Stainless Steel and Aluminium compliments this huge trophy of 27"tall and 10kg in weight. So its going to take some brawn to lift this one but this is not going to be a problem with College teams from Penn State and Florida arriving into Dublin in August to compete for this trophy along with an expected 40,000 travelling fans from the States. Our clients Croke Park Stadium seemed delighted with the result. It has yet to come back to our workshop for final engraving on the raised plinths but we thought you might like this sneak preview. Many hours of forging ,welding and finishing have gone into this one.
