This weekend in Clare there is something that must be a first for the GAA. Conor and Eoin Cleary, twin brothers from Miltown Mlabay in West Clare, are in line to both make their first starts in the championship. Conor with the hurlers and Eoin with the footballers. Is this unique that they are making them in different codes? Phenomenal achievement and scarcely believable

As far as I know there was twins playing for Donegal minors either last year or the year before. Great day for any household when someone puts on the county jersey but twins is indeed a bit special.

Varley and sweeney twins both on galway football panel this year. Must be great day out for the family. Never heard of twins playing in separate codes before

Were Ben and Jerry O'Connor twins? Caltra had five brothers on their All-Ireland club winning side in 2004.
