TENS of thousands of Kerry fans watched their team collect their 37th senior All-Ireland on Sunday and what a great time they had in the capital!
The city centre was turned into a sea of green and gold and yellow as fans from both sides enjoyed the atmosphere inside and outside the many bars.
From Mulligan’s and The Palace on the south side right down to James Gill on Jones’ Road, nerves were showing for some, but many Kerry fans were confident of a victory.
Their confidence was well-founded in the end thankfully.
