The GAA's tradition is rooted in families. Since its foundation in 1884 many sets of brothers have battled with and against each other for the pride of parish and county.
In a game rich with sibling talent and ability, Donal Keenan offers a fascinating examination of some of the game's remarkable family relationships. Profiling some of Ireland's most famous hurling and football brothers, Brothers in Sport provides an insight into the lives of these well-known sporting brothers. Including interviews with the O hAilpins, the Earleys and the Canavans, as well as memories of past heroes like the Foleys and the Rackards, these profiles reflect the triumphs and disappointments of sporting brothers from across the country throughout their careers.
