Another great pub quiz question with a strong Kerry connection. Name a man his son and his grandson who won senior all ireland medals but each one played for a different county? That's 3 men winning all Irelands for different counties. A little bit of a catch in it but it's fact and a brilliant pub question. That has a Mick Laide (Galway) and Pa Laide (Kerry 97) ring to it. That's the idea Horse but not Laide s but great effort. I ll give two clues. One is it might include hurling and football. The other is the grandson is not a son of the son. The grandson is a nephew of the son. So it's a man his son and his grandson that won senior medals for 3 different counties. |

Yes Jackie Power (Limerick hurling) son Ger Power (Kerry) and grandson Stephen McNamara (Clare) a son of Ger Power s sister. I was told that years ago in a pub and never forgot. A great question. Well Greengold |

This man was born in Kerry and won four senior All-Ireland medals. A lot of those around you might say. Not so. These were hurling medals!

The Kennelly are wrong I think. Just checked terrace talk. The Horse was playing during that league alright but Noel did nt play league for Kerry then. He was a minor in 96 and 97

The player was John Quirke. He played back in the 1930/1940 era with Cork . I think Cork won four in a row back then. John was born in the well known Kerry hurling stronghold of Milltown. I am not sure what age he was when the family migrated to Cork. |

Brilliant Aodh谩n well done I'm impressed. Mary Geaney was in college in Cork and captained Cork to a cam贸ige all ireland and won a few more as Kerry did nt have a cam贸ige team. She captained Kerry ladies to success in 76 all ireland and was an international hockey player. Her brother Dave won 2 all Irelands and was Kerry team Doctor. Would be distantly related to the Dingle Geaney. Well done. Maith an fhear. |

Wasn鈥檛 Mary Geaney an extraordinary sports star. As far as I know she was an acclaimed golfer as well. As Ciarraimick said , she is a sister of Dr. Dave Geaney. Another brother , Dick, captained Kerry in an All-Ireland minor final. Unfortunately they were beaten by Derry.
A Con Geaney won a senior medal back in the thirties. I wonder would he be a relation?
As I have mentioned golf. This man won a senior medal with Kerry and represented Ireland at golf. Fairly easy I think.

Con played for Kerry in the 1932 national league final vs Cork & Dr Dave ( son) played in the 1959 final vs Derry - Kerry did not win a league title in between those victories which is hard to understand given as they won a good few All Irelands in that period. Bedsides Mary, another brother, Dick played Kerry minor in the 60s. |
