THOUGHTS and prayers this morning are with the staff of Barack Obama Plaza.
The Junction 23 goldmine (at least when Kerry have a good GAA year!) was jam-packed with green and gold-clad fans in the morning and evening of a day to forget for the Kerry ladies team.
Never before was there such support for a Kerry ladies side at Croke Park, with thousands taking to the roads —mainly by bus — hoping to see the Kingdom bridge that 30 year gap and bring the title home.
Alas it wasn’t to be, with the Dubs once again foiling Kerry celebrations. The fans certainly made their voices heard though and every part of the county was represented in the throngs at headquarters.
We met loads of fans from Tralee, Castlegregory, Kenmare, Killorglin, Ballybunion and elsewhere on our travels in the stadium and while there was disappointment afterwards, there was also the promise that this team will bounce back. Scroll down for photos…
