Pillar’s Dubs aim to reclaim past glories

IF anyone can appreciate how deep the Dublin-Kerry rivalry runs it is Paul Caffrey.

Brought up as one of seven siblings above a shop on Dorset Street in the 1970s, the Dublin manager lived literally a stone’s throw from Croke Park.

He was there when Kevin Heffernan’s team ended an 11-year search for Sam in 1974 and, by the time the green and gold crossed their paths the following year under Mick O’Dwyer, he was well and truly a foot solider of Heffo’s Army.
