Kerry club dominance exposes inequalities
The emotion on Nathan Breen’s face as he stood on the Hogan Stand podium on Saturday said it all. Looking down on his Beaufort team-mates, the joy of the captain who had moved to the home of his father after spending his first 13 years in Wales was unbridled.
A couple of hours later after their All-Ireland junior football success, there were similar scenes as their neighbours 15 kilometres up the road Kilcummin were celebrating their intermediate title. Former GAA president and club member Seán Kelly, who had championed the lower grade All-Irelands by bringing the finals to Croke Park 13 years ago, joined captain Brendan Kealy soon after the cup presentation.
