Killarney

 It was a historic occasion when a local music maestro and his son not only played football but also music in Croke Park.
 Liam O&#8217;Connor and his son Ois&iacute;n enjoyed a kick about together at the home of GAA as part of a &#8216;Warriors for Humanity&#8217; charity game for Self-Help Africa.
 They later played at the after-match celebratory banquet in the Hogan Stand Event Centre that night &#8211; probably making history as the first father and son duo to play both in Croke Park on the same day!
 O&rsquo;Connor&rsquo;s sporting credentials have been well-established too. He won two Cork county senior championship football medals with Duhallow.
 Liam, an internationally-acclaimed accordion player, recently played at Electric Picnic.
 Tomorrow (Thursday) he and his band will join the Celtic Tenors to entertain the sell-out crowd at the much-anticipated rugby clash between Munster and world champions South Africa.
