Lilywhites unsung hero

HIS name will not be familiar to a younger generation of GAA followers outside of Kildare, but Pat Dunny has a list of achievements to his credit which merit special recognition.

He is part of a select group of dual Railway Cup medal holders, he won All-Ireland medals in U21 football and junior hurling, and uniquely, was chosen on both Kildare millennium teams.

Add in a career in administration which featured membership of the Central Council for a decade and a half and a spell as chairman of the Hurling Development Committee. You could say he is one of the county’s best-known players of his generation.
