Kennelly: Croker high tackle reaction ‘really got up my nose’
Kennelly has just completed his first season back in Australian Rules football after his 2009 sojourn that saw him complete a single, but highly successful, championship campaign with Kerry. That campaign climaxed with All-Ireland success and, early in the final against Cork, Kennelly infamously put Murphy to the ground with a dangerously high shoulder charge.
His subsequent recollection of events in his autobiography, where he admitted telling team-mate Paul Galvin ‘I’m going to charge in and hit someone at the start’, appeared to confirm it was pre-meditated.
