Suddenly, this Kingdom team is looking dangerous once again

There was always going to be a certain fascination with seeing what this young, fresh-faced Kerry side could produce in Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday, considering so many had never been on the senior championship stage before.

While still only a cub, I was old enough in 1992 to remember the drama caused by Clare beating a Kerry team in a real shock and awe championship moment.
