Laochra Gael continues this Thursday (February 11th) with the story of Dermot Earley.
Named after his legendary father, Dermot was determined to make a name for himself.
He did just that when he was at the heart of Kildare historic 1998 campaign while still in his teens. Sadly, that would be the highpoint of his football career.
In the following years he suffered dreadful injuries, he fought a cancer battle, and in 2010 he was dealt a severe blow with the death of his father.
Throughout it all Dermot continued to battle with determination and bravery for his county, and for his family.

Bhí go leor deacrachtaí le sárú ag @dermotearley ina shaol.
Ba éachtach an misneach a léirgh sé in aghaidh drochghortaithe, troide in éadan na hailse & bás a athar.
Next week's #LaochraGael is a story of courage⭐ pic.twitter.com/IL2NtEQ8VA
