No mixed emotions for South Kerry boss

NO mixed emotions for former Dr Crokes star John Galvin in Killarney yesterday, just immense satisfaction his South Kerry team had shown outstanding character to win the Kerry football championship.

Galvin, whose father was born in Sneem, took charge of the southern amalgamation earlier this year. He insisted: “When I took on the job six months ago I made up my mind that it wasn’t going to be an issue if we met the Crokes. I had to detach myself from that.

“Where would I be today if I was half in one camp and half in the other? I’m fully South Kerry at the moment. I am proud of my roots, but I’m a Killarney man as well.’’
