In the moment, with absolutely everything on the line, Dylan Geaney wanted the shot at immortality. His brother Conor looked at him and said no. Dylan’s shooting form from distance was smoking hot but the last-second free suited a left-footed kicker more. Conor Geaney felt he was entitled to have a go. He wanted it. And nailed it.
When the brothers briefly spoke amongst the chaos and delirium in the immediate aftermath, Dylan told Conor that one of his outrageous two-point efforts earlier in the second half was a ball he’d aimed for the edge of the square. By that stage it appeared as if Dingle would need a second goal to have any chance of rescuing this match. But they didn’t need green when orange eventually proved to be gold.
