Mayo footballer Jack Carney has his partner, Jamie Geraghty, by his side at the All-Stars this year, and their connection goes way back! <\/p>\n

For Mayo<\/a>, it is a glittering occasion, as they continue to bask in the glory of Sam Maguire finally making its way back to the west after 75 years.<\/p>\n

And Jamie was beaming with pride once more as Jack won his first PwC GAA\/GPA Football All-Star award.<\/p>\n

The pair smiled as they enjoyed the celebrations, with Jamie revealing they’ve known each other for around ten years after growing up in the same Mayo parish. <\/p>\n

Chatting to EVOKE, Jamie said, ‘We’re actually from the same club, and we met in school,’ so there was a connection there from the very start.<\/p>\n

Laughing Jack told us that while they knew each other, it took him a while to pluck up the courage to make a move. <\/p>\n

The couple share a love for GAA, with Jamie revealing she also played for the same club as Jack, Kilmeena GAA.<\/p>\n

These days, the couple are living in Dublin, with Jamie working as a teacher, but they still love escaping back west whenever they get the chance, mentioning how Achill was their favourite spot to head off to and relax. <\/p>\n

However, like so many other Mayo players and their partners, the moment the whistle blew was a special time for not just the team.<\/p>\n

Recalling the moment the whistle blew,<\/a> Jamie said, ‘It was just amazing. My parents were there, and Jack’s family and we were just so proud watching him- it really was a special moment.’<\/p>\n
