A great way to celebrate a fourth All-Ireland win in a row.
Yesterday, the Dublin team proved their class on the field by overpowering Tyrone and sealing a convincing win in the All-Ireland final, their fourth All-Ireland win on the trot.
On Monday, the Dubs proved their class off the field — joining Dublin super-fan Freya Fitzpatrick in her hospital room at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin for a old-fashioned Dublin sing-song.
Dublin GAA shared a video on Twitter of the lads serenading the young fan with a rousing rendition of ‘Molly Malone’.
Freya is absolutely sports mad, and is a huge supporter of the Arsenal Women’s Team and the Dublin footballers.

Freya was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour earlier this year, a medulla glastoma, which is a very rare type of cancer that is very hard to treat, requiring months of radiation and chemotherapy.
Dublin’s stars brought the Sam Maguire with them and posed for pictures with the kids of St John’s Ward, including one baby who got to sit in the cup.
Fantastic to see this tradition every year 🏐💙 Well done to the @DubGAAOfficial team for taking time to visit the children @CMRF_Crumlin These lads are not only the best we have ever seen but also true role models for the next generation of children Well done 👏🏻 @Hill16Army pic.twitter.com/dyrpuW9EDb
