One man dominated headlines this morning and that’s Tim Barry in Co Laois.

Tim is the GAA club chairman for Rathdowney-Errill who were playing a Junior C Football Championship game against Annalough.

Just before kick off Rathdowney realised they only had 12 players, and needing 13 for the game to go ahead, Chairman Tim got the call.

Tim is 72 years of age, but he didn't let that stop him.

He only conceded two goals as Rathdowney-Errill won by 8-08 to 2-02.

He’s not expecting to keep his place in the side for the next round! Catch Tim's chat with The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show by pressing the Play button below.
