    Brothers playing in the same team

    Last night brothers Evan McMillan and David McMillan both started for UCD against Finn Harps. When was the last time that two brothers took the field for the same team?

    Joe and Peter Hanrahan with Dundalk in the 90s?

    Sad to say I'm not 100%, but I'm fairly sure Wayne and Thomas Fitzgerald are brothers, they'd have played together for us about 2003 kind of time maybe? As ever, Dick Long will know!
    Wexford are easily the winners of this one alright, I seem to remember there were three sets in their early squads. The Wallaces as mentioned, the Russells are two more brothers that I think are still there (not sure about Jason the keeper mind), and wasn't there Rossiter siblings also?

    Not as recent as some of the examples above but I'm sure John and Robbie Martin started together for UCD a good few times.

    Fiachra and Cormac McArdle, I think, were both at Dundalk in 2006.

    Edit: It may have been Kevin and Cormac in 2007 -- did Kevin, Cormac and Fiachra ever play on the same team!?

    For Kildare County Paul and Matt Rigney played together against Kilkenny, Harps and Cobh in 2006 and 2007.

    Also November 2006 Matt replaced his brother as a sub!

    Kevin and Cormac are brothers. Fiachra is no relation. Don't think Kevin played a match for us
