Former eLoI Players Playing GAA

**superfrank** · 09/06/2008, 7:58 PM

I think I heard somewhere that Robbie Dunne once played GAA, possibly for Louth. Anyone know more about that?

**pineapple stu** · 09/06/2008, 8:02 PM

Never heard that. He's from Dublin, as far as I know.

Kildare goalkeeper, Tom Corley played a few games in goal for Kildare County a couple of years ago.

Captain Philly Gorman also turns out for his local side when he can although i don't think he ever made it to county level

Seanie Francis took up Gaelic Football at 33 with a junior club in Kildare and was voted his club's player of the year in his first or second year.

He played against us and was fantastic

BTW, I don't think the Mick McCann who played for Athlone is the same Mick McCann who played for Antrim - Mick McCann played underage for Belvedere, his father has a Dublin accent

Declan Smyth played upfront for us for a good few years and played for and captained the Monaghan gaa team too. Going back a bit, Mickey Conlonplayed for United and the County. Not sure if either of the Slowey brothers Martin or Mickey ever played for United, both were talented footballers at both games. I think Colm McAree got a few run outs for the County seniors, but the less said about his spell with United the better.
Magicme has already mentioned Cian Mackey - now with Armagh City - plays for Cavan seniors and captained Ireland at U17 versus Australia. Vey very good footballer.

U-21 and minor, I cannot recall him ever playing senior. He had a penalty saved in the Ulster Minor final.

The Micky McCann that played for Antrim was with Athlone around Terry Evistons managerial reign. There was of course the other Micky McCann that you mention that was from Dublin.

Rovers assistant and 94 cup winner Gerry Carr plays gaelic for a team in Sligo town

**Paraic** · 13/06/2008, 2:38 PM

Peter Whitnell, Down all irleand winner in 91 / 94 played with Dundalk. Also Stephen Staunton's older brother David played a fair bit with Louth seniors and made a couple of appearances for Dundalk I think also.
