O’Keeffe hoping well-tutored Tralee finally get their reward

TRALEE CBS’s first appearance in the Hogan Cup final at Croke Park on Sunday will evoke special memories for the principal of the Kerry school, Tony O’Keeffe.

In 1969, O’Keeffe was a member of the St Brendan’s Killarney side which captured the ultimate accolade in colleges senior football. Ironically two other members of that side, John O’Keeffe and Donal McMahon, are now teaching with The Green in Tralee.

The two schools were powerhouses of football in the Kingdom and enjoyed a healthy rivalry.
