Good auld GAA – always one false move away from shooting itself in the foot
I think David Hosie from the Navan O’Mahonys club was the first player who can be recalled playing adult football at 15 years of age. Ballivor’s Mairtin Doran wasn’t far behind him. From a hurling perspective, there’s no doubt that one of our own – the one and only Paul Fagan – was the youngest…
