International rugby star and former pupil of St. Brigid's, Ian Madigan, returned to our school last week to present a very special award. Ian wanted to memorialise his former teacher, the late Jerry Kiernan, and has done so by sponsoring the Jerry Kiernan Perpetual Trophy For Positive Contribution To The School which will be awarded to boys in sixth class at the end of every year. The deserving winners this year are Ryan Maher and Alex Kavanagh, who were heralded for their positive attitude, work ethic and cooperative spirit.
Ian was very generous, taking time out of his busy schedule to regale the boys with stories of his time in our school, answering questions and signing autographs.
Thank you, Ian, and well done to the winners!
