Three brothers will line out for Leitrim in tonight's Connacht MFC semi-final encounter with Mayo at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, Carrick-on-Shannon.
The Harkin siblings from Mohill, Evan (full-back), Sean (left half-back) and Ethan (left half-forward) have been included in Martin McGowan's starting fifteen for their provincial opener.
It's believed the Bennett brothers from Ballysaggart became the first three brothers to feature on the same county minor hurling team when they played together for Waterford in 2012.
Is this a first for county minor football?
Leitrim (MFC v Mayo): Darren Maxwell; Leo Ryan, Evan Harkin, Fintan Gallogly; Cillian McGloin, Jack Gilheaney, Sean Harkin; Niall McGovern, Eoghan Keegan; Caleb Duffy, Shaun Chandler, Ethan Harkin; Riordan O'Rourke, Darragh Rooney, James Glancy.
