Three brothers named in Waterford minor team

Waterford's Stephen Bennett
In what is believed to be a first for county minor hurling, the Bennett siblings - Kieran (17), Stephen (16) and Shane (15) - will feature on the same team. It hasn't been unusual for three or even four brothers to play together on the same senior team - think of the Dooleys in Offaly, the Fennellys in Kilkenny, the Connollys in Galway, the Cuddys in Laois and the Kilcoynes in Westmeath - but it is certainly a rarity at minor level.
The brothers' father, former Waterford star Pat Bennett, said in the Irish Examiner: "It is a very special honour for myself, for Anne, and for the family, to have the three boys chosen on the same Waterford minor team. Obviously, I hope that it will go well for them, but of course the most important thing is that the team get the required result."
