Spirits soar as old rivals Cork and Kerry duel again

Cork and Kerry football fans will enjoy the banter in Killarney at this evening’s Munster final replay and many will meet at McSweeney’s Corner on their way to Fitzgerald Stadium.

There to greet them will be Kelly-Ann McSweeney, whose family has been in the pub trade at the eponymous corner for 65 years.

Her father Tony is a Kerryman, her mother Pauline (née Kelly), hails from Blarney, Co Cork, and the premises is painted red — but Kelly-Ann is Kerry “true and true”.
