Pascal McConnell, born on 10 April 1980, is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Tyrone county team and is an All-Ireland senior football championship winner. He competed with John Devine and Niall Morgan for the first-choice goalkeeper position at Tyrone. His older brother Finbar McConnell was Tyrone's All Star-winning goalkeeper of the 1990s. As a schoolboy McConnell played alongside Stephen O'Neill in the 1998 MacRory Cup semi-final for Omagh CBS. During his time with Tyrone he helped the county win three All-Ireland senior medals. He announced his retirement from inter-county football in November 2013, saying the commitment required to perform at the top level meant the time was right to start a new chapter. His retirement left Conor Gormley, Dermot Carlin, Stephen O'Neill and Seán Cavanagh as the only remaining links to the Tyrone team that won the county's first All-Ireland senior title in 2003.
