There were 8 Fitzhenry brothers on the starting team for Duffry Rovers of Wexford as they won 7 Senior Football titles in Wexford in a row and they they won 8 in 10 years!

Paddy,Noel,Fran,Damien,Ger,John,Seamie and Martin have all lined out in these games although Damien was a later addition......they all have inter-county pedigree too....and there are two other brothers Mark and MJ who also played in the earlier part of that success but would have been panelists! Safe to say if they had a family function you'd be lookin for a fixtures change!
