It was a brotherly affair in the latest episode of The Sporting Life here on WLR, which featured hurling legend Michael O'Connor.

Cappoquin native Michael O'Connor sat down with his brother Kieran to discuss his life in hurling - a career which saw him win All Ireland Minor & Senior medals as well as a Railway Cup medal with Munster.

Michael is one of only three people who have both Minor & Senior medals along with Mick Flannley and Tom Cunningham.

In 1948 he was part of Cappoquin's  Magnificent 7  when the Waterford minors had six players from Cappoquin along with team Manager Paddy Cunningham.
