Three sets of cousins in three different counties playing for three Éire Óg clubs
The cousins play for Éire Óg clubs in Cork, Wicklow and Kildare
An incredible coincidence; three sets of cousins who play for three different Eire Óg clubs in three different counties, Wicklow, Cork and Kildare. They are the children of three siblings Eugene, Florence and Nollaig O’Sullivan from Bantry West Cork, all of whom played hurling and/ or football for St Colums, Kealkill.
Nollaig, a nurse, settled in the village of Caragh in Kildare. Her daughter Emma (15) plays her camogie with Eire Óg Corra Choill. Emma is also on the Kildare U16 camogie panel.
Eugene, a retired Garda, settled in Kilpedder in Wicklow. His daughter Isobel (18) and son Dan (14) play for Eire Óg in Greystones.
Last but not least, Florence, an engineer with Cork County Council, settled not too far from Ovens in Cork. Her three daughters Grainne (nine), Laoise (seven) and Béithīn (four) play their camogie with Eire Óg in
Co. Cork.
