IT wasn’t pretty but who cares?
Kerry are champions again after five years and the winter will be well and truly shortened with the celebrations that will ensue over the coming weeks.
There were some tense moments with just a kick of a ball between the two sides at the end and it was often dour affair, but Kieran Donaghy lived up to his ‘Star’ moniker and lit up the stage scoring 1-2 to help Kerry to their 37th title.
“What do you think of that?” he asked Joe Brolly in the RTE post match interview. Brolly, earlier this year, said the production line of great Kerry talent was shut down.
It’s 37 and counting now Joe. Gooch will be back next year and possibly Tommy Walsh, if he returns from Sydney.
I’d say we’re in good shape for 2015!
Scroll down for photos and join us over the next few days for interviews, photos and videos of the celebrations and homecoming…
