Kerry's Tadhg Kennelly became the first player to win both an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final and an Australian Football League Premiership final yesterday, thanks to the Kingdom's 0-16 to 1-9 victory over Cork at Croke Park.

Another Irish youngster is being given a shot at Aussie Rules stardom.

Tadhg Kennelly has been forced to apologise to an Australian Catholic girls school and its principal after a prank backfired on the former Kerry minor footballer.
