What is your earliest sporting memory? Playing in Croke Park when I was around 10 in the Cumann na mBunscoil Final with Scoil Thomáis. 

What was been your most memorable moment (On the field) in Brigids colours:

The Junior Football Championship final V Man O War in 2007 or beating Na Fianna in the U21 QF after being 7 points down with less than 5 minutes left would be the top two.  

What was been your most memorable moment (Off the field) in Brigids colours:

Any of our recent team trips to Dromahair in Leitrim (2005 and 2009) or Kilbaha in County Clare (2008). 

Worst moment in Brigids colours:

Losing the 2004 and 2005 Under 21 A finals both by a point to Vincents and Judes was horrible. Losing to Craobh Chiarain in this years JFC when we are 10 times the better side, probably tops that. 

Favourite Music: Will listen to anything, hard to beat a drunken Seamus Lynam ballad or a rendition of Zacchaeus by Willa Corbett though! 

Favourite Film: The Shawshank Redemption or The Train. 

What was the last book you read? "Bandit Country: The IRA in South Armagh" by Toby Harnden. 

Who has been the biggest influence on your playing career? My Dad. 

What is your favourite aspect of the club? The team spirit of our football team. The website and the new facilities are also things that make you feel proud of the club. 

What would you like to see change or improve in the club?

A proper kitchen so the bar could serve food after matches and a Sunday carvery. A dedicated Gym area with new machines and the start of the new sand-based grass pitch will be great. 

Favourite food? Indian or Mexican. 

Person / people I most admire? Several people I work with and my parents. 

If you won the Euro Millions, what would you do?

Fund the new grass pitch in Russell Park and build a huge stand beside it! Then, head off on a ridiculous round the world trip for a year! Buy Kevin Bonfil a new Kildoran jersey and Tony Hughes some proper shorts. 

Your ambition within the club is to? Win the Dublin JFC and to play Senior Football for the club.  

If you were to organise a session down in the club, what 3 celebrities would you invite? Billy Connolly, Christy Moore and Frankie Boyle. 

Who is your favourite "character" in the club? Paddy Bonfil without a doubt! 

What is the funniest quote / saying you have heard in St Brigids? 

Noel Cassidy has had quiet a few, although the language wouldn't be the cleanest. Ron Mc Garrell after Brigids (his adopted club) beat his home club (Dromahair) by a point in the Barry McGarrell final  "I didn't know who to support, it felt like watching your mother-in-law drive off a cliff in your brand new car"

Pet hates? 'Irish' people who slag off the Irish language, poor referees and tabloid newspapers. 

Who is your favourite "Sunday Game" pundit?

Cyril Farrell (Hurling) or Joe Brolly (Football) 

If you could have been a spectator at one sporting event in history what would it be?

Galway's hurling All-Ireland win in 1980 or Dublin's win in 1995. 

Who has been the best player you have trained or played with? Sean Kavanagh or Mark Lynch (Both UUJ) 

Who is the best and worst trainer on your club team? Best - Allan Hughes or Sé Smith. Worst by a county mile, Willa Corbett with Shane O?Hara and Kev Donovan a close second. 

Who is the most skilful player of your team? Football "Mossie" Curran, Hurling - Sean Frane. 

Your favourite ever GAA score? Barry Cahill's goal this year V Kildare in the Leinster Final or James Campbell's last minute winning goal in the Barry McGarrell Final 2009!! 

What is your favourite GAA ground? Russell Park or "The Field" in Corr na Móna, Co Galway! 

Who are most likely to win Dublin's next Senior All-Ireland, the hurlers or footballers?

You'd have to say the hurlers after this season.
