Kerry must match Tyrone
Reflecting on the "doom and gloom" that surrounded Kerry's exit from this year's All Ireland series, the chairman disagreed with views that Gaelic football had changed "utterly for the worst" and the game was in a serious state of decline within the county.
"In the wake of this game and the final, there was a clamour to change the rules and make sure that all teams play a certain type of game. It is my opinion that there was no need for the hysteria that emanated from certain quarters. Hunger, determination, will to win, and meticulous planning should not be criticised but admired. On behalf of everybody in Kerry, I warmly congratulate Tyrone on winning their first All Ireland title," he added.
