What was remarkable was that Mikey was but one of five Geaney’s who played a role on All-Ireland final day, with Dylan, Conor, Niall and Paul all starting the game.<\/p>\n
The Geaney family connection is famed in Dingle, but they are also related to three of the O’Connor’s who are on the team as well.<\/p>\n
Mikey, Paul, and Niall Geaney appeared on\u00a0The Late Late Show\u00a0on Friday night, with Mikey delivering a brilliant line about the future of the family dynasty.<\/p>\n

He’d play in the game and then be on the flight the next morning at 6 o’clock to Australia.<\/p>\n His baby was born the morning of the final, and then he rushed back over the Monday morning at 6 o’clock to be reunited with the family.<\/p>\n It’s another extraordinary aspect of Dingle’s All-Ireland win, with Curran missing the birth of his child to help them to victory over St. Brigid’s.<\/p>\n However, Mikey Geaney admitted he would have found it hard to make the same call.<\/p>\n “Dangerous decision there,” Geaney joked when asked if he would have chosen playing in the final over the birth of his child.<\/p>\n “No, sport is magic and stuff but nothing compares.”<\/p>\n It was a superb segment on\u00a0The Late Late Show’s GAA special, with All-Ireland winners in camogie, ladies’ football and hurling alongside the Geaney’s in studio.<\/p>\n In the end, it was Dingle captain Paul Geaney who best summed up the importance of family in club GAA.<\/p>\n The two lads beside me there, Mikey [is a] first cousin, Niall [is a] first cousin.<\/p>\n Niall’s two brothers as well, Conor and Dylan, were on the team, and then they had three other cousins as well, the O’Connors. They had two brothers and five cousins involved each, so it was crazy!<\/p>\n That’s what club is, it’s about family and community. It makes it more special then when you win.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: GAA On TV This Weekend: All-Ireland Rematches On Bumper Bank Holiday<\/a><\/p>\n
