How Kieran Donaghy still makes primitive look beautiful

About two years ago, he was preparing for an imminent retirement from Kerry football when he took on a project to try to bring Superleague basketball back to the town of Tralee. There were three or four different small clubs all fishing out of the same small pool of players and none of them had a senior outlet competing in the top flight of Irish basketball. Somehow, Donaghy managed to pull these warring basketball factions all under the one umbrella to form a new Superleague club in the town.
