Tyrone man Conor McKenna becomes only the second All-Ireland Senior Football medallist to also play in a winning Australian Football Rules Grand Final team.

CONOR MCKENNA HAS BECOME just the second man to complete a unique sporting double, as his Brisbane Lions side won the Grand Final this morning at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
