Change in the air — but will it be for the better?

Last Sunday was spent in Austin Stack Park in Tralee as the senior county football final took centre stage, writes Mike Quirke.

My own Kerins O’Rahilly’s were the appetiser to the main course between All-Ireland champions Dr Crokes and divisional side South Kerry.

We were somehow playing in a relegation play-off no less, despite the fact we only lost to South Kerry by a point in the semi-final two weeks ago. Last Sunday, we faced the prospect of playing intermediate championship next year. Bonkers, I know. But because of two poor results back in April in the club championship, we found ourselves eyeballing the prospect of the drop having only been a point away from making the final.
