It's rare in the world of sport that you can truly say a player has achieved a major victory before they've even stepped onto the pitch, but that's certainly true for Wexford duo Paul Brown and Lar Brennan as they prepare to represent Ireland at the British Transplant Games later this week.
They have both come a long way and fought hard to get here and now the fact they are ready to head to Coventry to compete against other transplant recipients from across Ireland and the UK is just amazing.
