The Kingdom explodes in colour and celebration as Sam makes his way home 

All over Kerry — from Killarney to Tralee, and especially in Kenmare — GAA fans erupted in celebration after winning a nerve-jangling All-Ireland Football Final

Jack is back, Sam is on his way home, and Kenmare — a town which contributed so many players to Kerry’s 38th All-Ireland football triumph — is a riot of colour.

They were talking about the homecoming in Killarney even before the players took to the pitch in Croke Park, such was the confidence in the Kingdom. But there were nervous moments until the 67th minute on Sunday.
