Fitzgerald’s persistence is finally rewarded

MAURICE Fitzgerald won his first county senior championship medal yesterday.

You may not have noticed, because even in November the GAA pages get pretty choked up with provincial club championships and player of the year awards and goodness knows what else, but it was an enjoyable consequence of South Kerry’s 1-13 to 2-5 victory over Laune Rangers.

Enjoyable, because it crowns a career that was long un-rewarded, and because it reminds you of just how good Fitzgerald was.
