3 Kernan brothers will start for the county today v monaghan is this a record. I never herd of more than 3 startin for the county before. Did any other county have 4 brothers playiong together,
Sorry mate Cavan fielded four brothers as recently as the Mid 90's, Peter, Michael and Larry Reilly. As anyone who has read this board over the past week will know, larry was worth two men
I am nearly sure that the Three Moran brothers played on the same limerick hurling team, Ollie, James and Niall
How many of the Spillane's played together with Kerry and of course the 3 O'Se's have regularily played championship together with Kerry.
There were three Spillanes Tom, Mick and Pat.
The three O'Se's picked up All-Stars last year as well.
don't forget the legendary Rackards in Wexford in the 1950's and the Bonnars in Tipperary in the 1980's and 1990's.
Ok but non of them woud be as famus as the Kernans.
I think there were four Rackards at one time. There were certainly four Quinns from Kilbride who played together for Meath in the sixties. The legendary Martin at full back, the even more legendary Jack at centre field, Gerry at corner forward and Jimmy got the odd game in the forwards. I don't think the four ever played championship together (the three certainly did), but all four would have appeared together in league and other matches.
There were seven brothers (not mine) on my club team.
The 3 Lowrys in Offaly in 1982, Seanie, Brendan and Mick.
The 3 Dooleys in the hurling in 1994, Joe, Johnny and Timmy.
I'd say Ritchie, Murt and Matt Connor probably played together as well.
That 1982 Offaly team had (off the top of my head)
The Fitzgerald Brothers, Mick and Pat
The Lowrys, Sean, Brendie and Mick
The Connors, Matt and Ritchie,
The O'Connors, Liam and Tomás,
The Darbys, Seamus and Stephen
4 Meehan's played against Louth in 2004
Collegelands team list always used to make me laugh
McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary,McGeary, McParland.
I always loved the token Non-McGeary. Not all brothers but surely the most 'Family orientated' team of all time :)
I wonder is Armagh4Sam the biggest wind up merchant on the bord or just really really thick?
must be just really thick...who registers for a gaa board and makes comments like that ?? the O'Se brothers must be unheard of !!!!!
yeh the O' Sé's are unknowns - as the rackards, even though our hurlers did play for a trophy named after one of them last year!

Are you taking the piss
Back in the 30s there were seven McDonald brothers playing for Fermanagh. All big men one of them was principal of the VEC school in Belturbet and only died about 2 years ago.
Well that's the end of that then.
As far as Pints if concerned Cullyhanna are all a shower of inbred fcukers, maybe not all brothers but definitiely related ;D
Three ORourke brothers played against Westmeanth las tweek for fucks sake.
How did the Kernans do today ? It sounded like Armagh could and should have won the match ?
At the 3 Brogans for Dublin a couple of weeks ago.
Beat this one....
When Cavan defeated Meath in the 1952 All Ireland Final Des and Liam Maguire played on the successful Cavan team while their younger brother Brendan played on the Meath team!
Did Val Kane play in a minor All-ireland and senior all ireland semi on the same day for Down. Not related I know but while were on amazing feats....
Brendan Maguire went on to become sheriff of San Mateo County in California. He was so popular that even when he died one month before the election, he was voted in sheriff for another term.
Re the famous Kerry brotherly trios - the Spillanes and the O'Se's - have they any other brothers who werent good enough to play at that level, or was it just the 3 brothers in each case?

Surely this contravenes rule 4. Inappropriate posts, incitement or racist posting. I will be reporting this immediately and I hope you are dealt with appropraitely.

For playing football or diesel-running? ;D
three Deegans' on the Down AI winning panel of 94. Connor played thru the whole campaign at midfield, Gerard was used in the early stages, don't think Gregory got a game tho.

Think McGuigan did for Tyrone in '74? Also McEniff might have for Donegal around about the same time (he was probably managing both teams too!!).
There were four sets of brothers on the Derry panel in 1993; Tohills, McCuskers, McGurks, Downeys with two playing in the final, McCuskers and Downeys.
Didn't a whole litter of the Fennely's of the famous Ballyhale Shamrocks club not play for Kilkenny at the same time in the '70s and '80s? There was awheena Donnellys from Ballycastle playing for Antrim hurling team at the same time I think. Maybe some of the infidels from the east could confirm that one for us.
And then there were the Uncle and nephew combination of the O'Kanes playing for the Coo Hallions and Antrim.

The Rackards of Wexford would be far far more famous than the Kernans.
The 3 Mortiomer brothers all played for Mayo, don't think they played County football @ the same time, but not sure.
Kenneth Mortiomer, Trevor Mortiomer & Conor Mortiomer.

One of the Lowerys played for Mayo, did he ever play against a brother while in the Mayo jersey, any league games perhaps do you know?

Don't think they played together at Senior IC level
Greg and Seán Maher played in the 1989 AI final, surely bulking up to 5 regular chumps in any other sibling estimation.

Wasn't Billy Dooley the fourth brother? I thought the 4 of them played on the same team together?

Sorry, I meant Billy of course. D'oh. What I was going to add was that I thought Timmy got a few run outs as well, but I'm not sure if he is a brother or a cousin.
Back in the 50/60's there would have been occasions when four of the Gribben brothers from Newbridge would have been playing for Derry , with three of then playing against Dublin in the 58 all Ireland-Hugh Frances, Owen and Roddy who was the player manager

Definitely not a brother and pretty sure he's not a cousin either.

I know that the Ó Sés have another brother called Fergal who has played for and managed An Ghaeltacht.....not sure if he played county football however.....maybe the Kerry lads can enlighten us.
There are 3 Farrell brothers playing for Longford since the beginning of the year
Whole loada McDoo's round Tir na nOg in Portadown.
