Kerry's sporting sisters: 'She also had 10 All-Ireland medals and five All Stars. I just spent my time trying to run after her'

With 20 All-Ireland medals and 10 All-Stars between them, it’s hard to find a more successful footballing family that the Lawlors from Ardfert, Co Kerry.

Sisters Eileen and Margaret Lawlor both played in Kerry’s nine-in-a-row team from 1982 to 1990, while Margaret won her first in 1976 and as captain Eileen ploughed a lone furrow in 1993 – Kerry’s last success at the grade.
