Husband-and-wife team up for Dublin in decider

DURING the past few weeks, twin brothers have won All-Ireland medals - with Cork senior hurlers Ben and Jerry O’Connor and the Kilkenny Under-21’s Conor and John Phelan.

Unusually, if not uniquely so, next Sunday’s TG4 All-Ireland ladies senior football final in Croke Park features a husband-and-wife combination.

Martina Farrell, a native of Co Westmeath, is midfielder on the Dublin team - and also the captain - while husband Dave is a selector.
