Kerry clinging to Dublin’s coat-tails

It is precisely because they understand this is a brilliant Dublin team Kerry people are so exercised, writes Paul Rouse.

There’s something delicious about the fact Dublin are heading to Kerry this weekend as they bid to extend their epic winning streak. The fact the game has long been a sellout tells you all you need to know about how the game is being viewed.

A huge Dublin crowd is making the trip south. The fact the game was scheduled on St Patrick’s weekend has induced a sort of Gaelic tourism to break the spring.
