Limerick’s Kerry factor is to success

KERRY’S contribution to Limerick’s exhilarating win over Cork in the Bank of Ireland Munster SFC was considerable.

You can almost imagine frustrated Cork followers muttering 'wouldn't you know it.'

The winning team manager, Liam Kearns, is from Kerry and his work over recent years with Limerick footballers has done much to raise the profile of the team and bring success at underage and senior level. A selector who joined Kearns when he got involved with the inter-county teams is Brian Kelly, a brother of the GAA's new President, Sean Kelly from Kerry of course.
