Ó Sé: experience the trump card

WHILE both Páidí Ó Sé and former footballer of the year Seamus Moynihan were more than happy with their lot following yesterday’s Munster football final victory over Limerick, there was an air of relief in the winning dressing room with the Kerry manager admitting there had been some worrying moments for them early on in the game.

"They started extremely well," he said. "And I suppose an awful lot of that was due to the fact we had to change midfield with no disrespect to Eoin (Brosnan) and Seamus (Scanlon) and to Declan (O'Keeffe) who had to kick the ball out to a different midfielder.

"But when they missed the first penalty it was a huge lift for Kerry. They missed the penalty and Kerry played their best football after that.
