I guess this is a regular occurrence at club level especially with rural teams struggling to make up the numbers for a reserve team but certainly rare at inter-county level. Anyone know of any other fathers and sons that have played together on the same inter county team past or present. PortInFaithful (Offaly) - Posts: 312 - 09/01/2018 14:22:40 2067519 Link 0 0 |

Fair dues anyway to any man in his 40s that can keep the dreaded "calf sniper" at bay - wonderful family achievement. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 409 - 09/01/2018 17:56:21 2067562 Link 1 0 |
Michael O'Dowd Snr. & Jnr., both hurled together for Monaghan in mid 80's. Michael Jnr. also played SFC for Monaghan. Indeed he won an Ulster SFC, A National lge title & scored a goal v Kerry in '85 all-Ireland semi-final, in a game, famous for Eamonn McEnaneys last gasp 45m+ equalizer !

I played a junior hurling match and we were having trouble making the numbers that day. My Da, who was to be umpire, put on a jersey, ran onto the pitch, and said "we've 15 now". realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6679 - 10/01/2018 22:53:53 2067730 Link 5 0 |
