Crokes ain’t backing down, warns defiant boss O’Shea

THE clear message from the Dr Crokes camp in Croke Park on Saturday was one of defiance and that they remain serious contenders for the AIB All-Ireland Club Football title.

They could easily have made a fuss about the legitimacy of Oisin McConville’s injury-time equaliser and bemoaned the loss of Brian McMahon and Eoin Brosnan, whose fitness will be a serious worry for Sunday week’s replay in Portlaoise.

But instead heads were held high in the Kerry camp.
