Kingdom says its final farewell to football legend Kennelly

GAA PRESIDENT Sean Kelly led the tributes to the late Tim Kennelly last night in Listowel as sport paid its final respects to a Kingdom legend.

Mr Kelly described Kennelly, aged 52, as "a giant of his generation and a man who earned a place amongst the pantheon of greats."

He told mourners at the removal of the Listowel man that Kerry icons are not those who have achieved fame, fortune and acclaim through conventional barometers and measurements applied in other lands. Instead they are the men "who have for over a century walked tall and proud in our beloved green and gold."
