A junior 'B' hurling game in Waterford last night bore witness to one of those rare occurrences where two brothers ended up marking each other.
Modeligo's Derek Kelly must have got a surprise when his brother and Shamrocks clubman John Anthony came on to mark him for the last 15 minutes of the game, which Sharmocks won a 2-17 to 0-6 scoreline.
Of course, it's not the first time brothers have come face to face on the GAA playing fields. Former All-Ireland winning Kilkenny centre back Brian Hogan has marked his brother Keith on a couple of occasions when O'Loughlin Gaels and Clara have crossed swords, while Tommy and Eoghan O'Reilly lined out against each other when Castlebar Mitchels defeated Breaffy in last year's Mayo senior football final.
