Kerry fans prepare to welcome home their heroes

FANS spilled onto the highways and byways of Kerry last night to celebrate the county’s emphatic 33rd All-Ireland title.

Car horns honked around Tralee and Killarney as bonfires were being planned by the pupils of Scoil Naoimh Eirc in Feoghnagh to honour past pupil and Kerry captain Dara Ó Cinneide, who lifted Sam Maguire just after 5pm yesterday.

Local curate, Fr Ciarán O’Briain, who oversaw a screening of the match in the school, said prayers were said for the team across Ballyferriter yesterday morning.
