Son of Kerry legend to start for Dublin Under-21 footballers against Meath

What will they think of this down in Templenoe?

The Dublin Under-21 football team have a name more associated with the golden era of Kerry football playing at half-back tomorrow night, as they face Meath in the Leinster championship. The team has been announced today, and manning the left half-back position will be a man by the name of Darragh Spillane. Nothing unusual in that, apart from his father being a seven-time All-Ireland winner with Kerry, Mick. https://twitter.com/DubGAAOfficial/status/704592045558669312 His pedigree is well-established through his uncles too, with Sunday Game pundit Pat an eight-time medalist and his other uncle Tom also picked up four Celtic Crosses during his time with the Kingdom. Darragh is a Cuala clubman, and has long been tipped for a bright footballing future after impressing for the Dublin minors last season. Spillane isn't the only player from an enviable sporting gene pool featuring on the Dublin panel. Former Republic of Ireland striker Niall Quinn’s son Michael, is also likely to feature at some stage for Dublin tomorrow night.
