"Apologies, have to interrupt this Twitter feed, I'm needed on the pitch"
June 11, 2021
The Glenville GAA twitter operator had a busy evening.
Updates on the Glenville GAA twitter account came to a halt during the East Cork junior C football championship semi-final after the operator was put on as a substitute.
The tweets were flying in throughout the re-fixed clash against Midleton on Wednesday evening until PRO John O'Connor was sprung from the bench at corner-forward.
Within seconds of entering the fray in Glenville, O'Connor left off with this gem: "Apologies, have to interrupt this Twitter feed, I'm needed on the pitch."
"I'll update the result as soon as the match finishes.
"Now to set a new record of oldest player to play championship for Glenville at 51.
"Pray for me..."
Apologies, have to interrupt this Twitter feed, I'm needed on the pitch .

I'll update the result as soon as the match finishes.
Now to set a new record of oldest player to play championship for Glenville at 51
🙏 for me...
They were beaten 3-8 to 0-4, but O'Connor made club history by becoming the oldest Glenville footballer to play championship at 51.
