Ben & Jerry O'Connor

Ben and Jerry O'Connor's lives have been intertwined with one another for over 45 years, both on and off the field. Today they live just one hundred yards down the road from one another. Ben has three kids, Jerry has three kids. It seems as if their lives have always run side by side. With a different approach, it wasn't long before Newtownshandrum was making progress and The O'Connor twins helped their club reach the ultimate pinnacle winning the Club All-Ireland in 2004. It was time their talents helped Cork reach similar success. During their playing careers, Ben's All-Ireland medals amounted to 3, and Jerry shared the successes on two of the occasions.
