PICS: Low-key decorations because Kingdom ‘dreads the losing’

It was jersey day yesterday at the school which must surely hold a claim to the title of Kerry GAA football nursery.

Holy Cross Mercy in the heart of Killarney was where Colm ‘Gooch’ Cooper learned to kick and catch — along with an astonishing four other members of tomorrow’s senior Kerry football team.

Five of the seniors started school in Holy Cross, on leafy New Rd, Killarney, and two current teachers at the school played with senior teams — male and female.
