Gavin O’Connor trawls through Twitter and finds out what people were saying and what photos they were posting on Garvey’s Supervalu Kerry SFC Final day…

Confusion surrounds our county championship system nationally, all we can say is, it may be complicated, but it works!
Can someone explain to me why @kerryofficial has 2 county finals, who represents them beyond Kerry?Dr Crokes and Austin Stacks both eligable
