⚽️🇦🇷🇨🇦Irish Pressings World Cup 2026 🇫🇷🇪🇸⚽️

As we settle back into routine following an eventful summer it is time to look back at some of the highlights.

Over the course of World Cup 2026, we had a hard fought predictions battle covering everything from Group Winners to Top Scorers and everything in between.

In dramatic fashion, our leaders going into the final match were dramatically overhauled by our eventual winner Catherine Curran Shaw. Congrats Catherine on scooping the jackpot - a real dark horse when it comes to football knowledge it seems 💰💵

In runner-up positions we had a 4-way tie with Hugh Rodgers, Ashok Varada, Joe Shaw and Caolan Toman - well done all 👏

Finally, every competition needs someone to prop up the table and in this case it was Vinod Biradar who took the honours.

Thank you to all who participated in what was a bit of fun - roll on the next competition so the slagging can start all over again.

Great to see Irish Pressings Maintenance Lead Eamonn Diver getting a deserved nod of acknowledgement for his role as part of Joe Barr support crew on Joe's mammoth Route 66 World Record Cycling attempt 👏🚴

You can monitor Joe's progress via BarrUltra or on the tracker at https://trackleaders.com/route66fkt26f.php

Things that make a difference...
A familiar face.
A quiet conversation.

Someone who has stood beside you long enough to know what you're capable of when things get tough.

Someone who doesn't need convincing that you'll find a way through.

Because they've watched you do it before.

That's fellow Donegal man Eamonn Diver

And in a race like Route 66, that kind of support is priceless.

Irish Pressings was delighted yesterday to welcome Ms Eva McCafferty to our premises in Gweedore 😍

Eva is a very special girl and one of An Garda Síochána's Little Blue Heroes. Born with complex needs, Eva regularly requires specialist medical attention at hospitals across the country. A lifeline for Eva and her family in attending these appointments is the services of the BUMBLEance Children's Ambulance Service 🚑

The BUMBLEance is Ireland's only dedicated Children's Ambulance Service, a charity that provides free nationwide journeys for children with serious or life-limiting illnesses, transporting them to and from hospitals, treatment centres, and medical appointments in a safe, caring and fun environment 💚

BUMBLEance is funded entirely from charitable donations and so Eva was onsite with her Aunt Breda Ward to collect the proceeds on behalf of BUMBLEance from Christmas Jumper Day 2025 organised by Catherine Shaw 👏

We would like to thank Eva and Breda for coming to visit and wish to encourage you all to support BUMBLEance in any fundraising efforts as the work that they do is invaluable to many families in our community and beyond 💪

"Curious minds don’t wait for answers — they go looking for them".

Irish Pressings was delighted to host a very special group of young men from Pobalscoil Ghaoth Dobhair - Oifigiúil onsite yesterday.

These brilliant young minds were onsite to learn primarily about safety in the workplace but kept us on our toes with questions on DeLoreans, Batmobiles and Armoured Vehicles😁

A thoroughly enjoyable visit for all at Irish Pressings and delighted to hear that the boys enjoyed it just as much 🫶
