O’Sullivan left to rue another missed chance

MICKEY Ned O’Sullivan has been down this road before, as Kerry manager against Cork in the Munster final in the 1990 decider in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, against Clare two years later in the Gaelic Grounds. And now Limerick.

The lesson you learn, he said after yesterday’s crushing defeat, was that ‘you have to be philosophical.’

But that doesn’t mean it’s any less difficult to accept defeat.
