Kerry senior footballers claim 50% of board expenditure

KERRY County Board spent over €300,000 on the preparation of its senior football team over the past year - approximately half the total expenditure on all inter-county activities.

The board achieved a surplus of €118,915 (up €65,174), with the increased return from gate receipts proving significant.

Income for the year totalled €3,624,729, marginally lower than last year, but expenditure was reduced by close to a quarter of a million euro.
