Smitten Tyrone fan seeks après match with his mystery Kerry rose

The Tyrone footballers weren’t alone in having their hearts broken in Kerry at the weekend. One love-struck farmer from the Red Hand county lost the potential love of his life almost as quickly as he had found her.

Clad in the distinctive white and red shirt of his beloved home county, the devoted fan from the small village of Pomeroy was struck by Cupid’s arrow on Saturday when he met a charming green and gold-clad Kerry supporter in a local pub after the Kingdom had triumphed in the All-Ireland qualifier at Fitzgerald Stadium.

The man — identified only as Seamus — arranged to meet up with her again later that night but got delayed and was devastated to find she had been and gone when he eventually reached their rendezvous spot.
