Good thread - I would have thought that Cavan was the obvious one!! Has there ever been a Cavan team without a Brady on it?

Cavan is the obvious one OK, but Brady is not the most obvious Cavan name.

Not necessarily GAA related, but certain surnames you associate with a particular county;

McHale, O'Malley - Mayo
Fahy, Burke - Galway
Connaughton, Finneran - Roscommon
Reynolds ? - Leitrim

Moroney, McMahon - Clare
Maher - Tipperary
Hennessy, Fennelly - KK
Kehoe - Wexford
Fives (great one) - Waterford (Is Ferncombe a common name there? Don't think I've heard it anywhere else)

O'Sullivan - Kerry
McCusker - Derry
Fagin - Dublin (Kildare?)
Reilly, Brady, McCabe - Cavan
Clerkin - Monaghan
Bonner - Donegal

Tyrone = O'Neill


....and Donnelly through the years. Like Paul, Datsun or Tony.

Datsun, great midfielder. Looked like a tool going up for the throw-in with that umbrella hat though.

Wexford - Sex


I think you mean Kildare.

Otherwise they'd have had to start calling Wexford "Sexford".

I stand corrected - sex was definitely big in Kildare in the 80s and 90s though whether it's the same sex as in Wexford I couldn't tell ye. Maybe there was no Sex in that Wexford team.

Not the same sex though. We need someone from the model county to confirm if sex was on in the 80s and maybe the 90s as well
