Title: Brothers
Post by: cornerback on June 07, 2009, 09:10:22 PM
Just thinking today how many county teams this year have brothers in the panel.

Maybe there isn't any more than usual but of the top of my head:

Derry: Bradleys, McGoldricks
Tyrone: McMahons
Armagh: Kernans
Fermanagh: Keenans
Dublin: Brogans
Kerry: O'Ses, Walshs
Antrim: McGourtys  ;)

Its a good job Aidan Carr doesn't have any brothers that are old enough to play senior football yet.

The O'Se's of Kerry are as good as I've ever seen.


What about that run from Marc yesterday ??? He could have taken a point at any stage but he went for the jugular.

Monkeys and cousins are in bad taste but DennistheMenace, that comment is way out of order
