Mark O’Connor will have support from the other side of the world for Sunday’s AIB All-Ireland club football final against St Brigid’s in Croke Park with three of his Geelong Cats colleagues flying in for the game.

Among them is Patrick Dangerfield, one of the AFL’s most celebrated players who toured with Australia when they played an international rules series against Ireland in 2010 which Australia won over two tests in Limerick’s Gaelic Grounds and Croke Park.
