"Unfortunately, Paul's brother Conor, who I played with for over 10 years, tragically died on Tuesday. There was a lot of emotion building up and going into that game for Paul last night," McDonnell explained. "But he made the brave decision and brave call for such a young lad to go and represent his county, given the circumstances. "He had great support and backup from Killeavy. There was a great turnout because the word had spread that Paul was going to participate in the game. In such tragic circumstances, you have to applaud the young fella for having the heart and courage to go and play in such a big match. "Conor was an active playing member of Killeavy and he gave his life and soul into Killeavy football over the last 20 years or so.

"He was taken off with about seven or eight minutes left. It was such a sad scene, an emotional scene, because he did fill up but it meant so much to him to go and represent his county."
