Seven sets of siblings help Offaly club compete hurling and camogie double
Drumucullen win Offaly intermediate hurling and senior B camogie titles on the one afternoon.
WHEN Drumcullen won the Offaly Intermediate Hurling title and the Offaly Senior B camogie titles last Sunday week, they created a bit of history when seven families were involved in both matches – seven sets of siblings, including twins, while the goalkeepers on both teams were siblings.
The hurlers won the Offaly Intermediate title for the first time since 2010 when they defeated Birr in a replay in Banagher by 2-18 to 0-14.
Just a couple of hours later the camogie side made it a great day for the club when they defeated Tullamore in the Senior B Camogie final at Grant Heating St Brendan's Park in Birr on a scoreline of 2-11 to 0-13.
Pictured above with the trophies as they celebrated that evening were front (l. to r.) Caoimhe Spain & Killian Spain (the goalkeepers), Dylan Hollywood, Chloe Gath Hollywood.
