Power: enthusiasm got the better of me at times

YOU couldn’t describe it as a second coming, but for Kerry great Ger Power the opening test in the Coca-Cola International Rules Series last Sunday marked something of an emotional return to Croke Park.

One of the select group of Kerry players to win eight All-Ireland medals, he accepted Austin Stacks club-mate John O'Keeffe's invite to act as a 'runner' for the Irish team.

Officially, the runner's duty is to go on to the field to pass on instructions from the management.
