IT is one of the greatest photos of a Kerryman in Croke Park and it sometimes gets falsely attributed to the wrong man.
The catch was made by Tommy Griffin in the 2006 All-Ireland Final against Mayo and often gets mistaken for the handiwork of his West Kerry neighbour, Darragh Ó Sé.
Last night, Tommy Griffin, was named as a selector on the new Kerry minor manager management team alongside, James Foley of Kilcummin.
Legion manager, Peter Keane, was ratified as Jack O’Connor’s successor with the minors.
Dingle man, Tommy Griffin, is a five time All-Ireland winner so will be bringing that winning pedigree to a Kerry minor dressing room going for a three-in-a-row All-Ireland titles.
Also at last night’s committee meeting, Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s, senior management team was ratified.
It will consist of Physical Trainer/Selector, Padraig Corcoran (Dingle) and Selectors, Mikey Sheehy (Austin Stacks), Diarmuid Murphy (Dingle) and Liam Hassett (Laune Rangers).
Limerick great, Ciaran Carey’s, two year tenure in charge of the senior hurlers also officially began.
His selectors were named as, Michael Conway (Lixnaw) and James McCarthy (Kilmoyley) and Damien Ryall (Abbeydorney) will continue as the Physical Trainer. A coach will be appointed at the next meeting.
