An unbreakable Roscommon bond

CONNACHT SFC SEMI-FINAL:

In the car were Dermot Earley Senior’s sons Dermot, Conor and David. They became a part of the team. Fetching balls, water and having a kickabout while the team prepared for the Connacht championship.

It seemed so natural, just a part of growing up, but the exposure to Roscommon made them into the men they are today. For Dermot Jnr, it helped define him as a Kildare footballer even though he grew up a Roscommon supporter.
