Former Young Hurler of the Year turned AFL star, Setanta Ó hAilpín, tied the knot over the weekend in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Between full-time work and training up to five times a week, there is little downtime for Seán Óg Ó hAilpín. But when it does come along, it’s the simple things that matter most to the former Cork inter-county hurling and football star.

HAVING genes from Fiji and Fermanagh — neither of them hurling strongholds — has proved no bar to a GAA legend getting the highest accolade his adopted city can offer.

It would once have seemed an unlikely friendship, given their prowess in different sports and their counties' neighbourly rivalry, but Cork's Setanta Ó hAilpín and Kerryman Tadhg Kennelly are now professional footballers and firm friends.

HURLING is Seán Óg Ó hAilpín’s expression of thanks for the gifts God has given him, he reveals in a frank interview.
