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?
Harry and Enda Kenny played for us in 2002/03, Conor and Ronan Frawley in 2001/02.

Wexford have had at least two different sets of brothers play since we started in 2007 Gareth and Conor Wallace (no relation to Mick) 2008-present
Cant remember the other off top of my head

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.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Last year. Owen and Thomas Heary. If half brothers count that is
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!?

Pretty sure Damien and Shane Bradley would have played together in Harps team around the 98/99 season.
Ronan and Connor Killeen, Darragh and Declan Sheridan played toghether for us in the 90's Didn't Harry Costello have a brother that played for United at the same time? Cant remember his name.
