Joe Brolly, the son of well-known folksingers, has provided entertainment of a different sort over the years. His greatest achievement is no doubt playing corner forward in the side that won the All-Ireland final in 1993. It was in the Sigerson Cup that Joe Brolly made his first burst onto the national stage, as a member of Trinity College's strongest ever side, in the early 1990s. His only inter-varsity medal was in the Ryan Cup in 1992, with Queen's, where he was a postgraduate. Joe added a second Ulster Championship in 1998, in the final of which he scored the clinching goal in the last minute. His All-Star recognition surprisingly came in the relatively barren years of 1996 and 1997. In the latter year, Brolly was a forward for Dungiven, (whose county S.F.C. victory was his second) as they coasted to Ulster Club Championship glory. His hallmark kiss to the crowd doesn’t always go down well with opposition supporters, but it’s part of the being the entertainer that he is. A prominent barrister, Joe even played basketball for Ireland as a schoolboy. He currently works as a gaelic football pundit for RTE televsion. |

Joe Brolly, the son of well-known folksingers, has provided entertainment of a different sort over the years. His greatest achievement is no doubt playing corner forward in the side that won the All-Ireland final in 1993. It was in the Sigerson Cup that Joe Brolly made his first burst onto the national stage, as a member of Trinity College's strongest ever side, in the early 1990s. His only inter-varsity medal was in the Ryan Cup in 1992, with Queen's, where he was a postgraduate. Joe added a second Ulster Championship in 1998, in the final of which he scored the clinching goal in the last minute. His All-Star recognition surprisingly came in the relatively barren years of 1996 and 1997. In the latter year, Brolly was a forward for Dungiven, (whose county S.F.C. victory was his second) as they coasted to Ulster Club Championship glory. His hallmark kiss to the crowd doesn’t always go down well with opposition supporters, but it’s part of the being the entertainer that he is.
