Last Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 4 clash between London and Tipperary in Ruislip brought together two county PROs from the same family.

In what was described as a “unique GAA moment”, London PRO Charlie Evans welcomed his uncle and Tipperary counterpart Jonathan Cullen to McGovern Park for the game which ended in a draw, 1-8 to 0-11.

“Two relatives in the same role at the same time but in two different counties and countries,” noted London GAA on its social media platforms.
