Seven sets of siblings help Offaly club compete hurling and camogie double

The seven sets of siblings with the trophies at a joint celebration.

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.
