FROM a spectator’s point of view, it fell somewhere between the Christians v The Lions circa 90AD and a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition game, but Kerry fans didn’t mind.
They turned up in their thousands again at our spiritual home and roared their approval as the Kerry forwards ran riot in the second half against Kildare.
We were in Dublin and took photos of the green and gold army on the first of their trips to Croke Park this year.
