Eamon Wallace comes from a family of high achievers and when he first hit the inter-county scene as a lightning quick Meath forward in 2013, his potential looked limitless.

A nephew of 1995 Ryder Cup hero Philip Walton and former Fianna Fail TD Mary Wallace, he was the U19 national 100m and 200m sprint champion at the time.
