Brosnan blasts Crokes to final

IT WAS easy in the finish but for three-quarters of this AIB All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final replay at Nenagh on Saturday, the game hung in the balance.

A wonderful goal by Eoin Brosnan in the 59th minute finally settled the issue and ensures Kerry teams will contest all three football club finals next month.

There is no greater sight in Gaelic football than seeing Brosnan in full flight, ball to toe, and bearing down on goal. With this game delicately poised at 1-8 to 0-8 in Crokes’ favour and a minute of normal time remaining, the big midfielder was given a superb pass by Ambrose O’Donovan on the 45-metre line.
