Kennelly: I’m going home after 2009

THE numbers of Gaelic footballers seeking glory in the AFL may be at an all-time high but the most successful Irish import of all, Tadhg Kennelly, yesterday reaffirmed his intention to return home at the end of the next season.

With the Sydney Swans 2009 campaign due to end in August or September — depending on results — that would leave Kennelly with time to reacquaint himself with his natural code before Kerry embark on their 2010 campaign

“I always said I wanted to go home and play Gaelic football and do what my dad and brother have done, win premierships back at home,” Kennelly told Australia’s Fox Sports News.
