Dream final just the ticket for Killarney

FOR that 2008 season when Kerry and Cork were kept apart in the Munster draw, Der Brosnan wouldn’t have had to cross his fingers.

But last October he knotted them, praying the draw be good. Not to him, not to Kerry but to Fitzgerald Stadium. That Kerry and Cork had to beat a couple of other teams to get to Killarney on Sunday didn’t make it a fait accompli but things looked a lot rosier for Brosnan after they were split. He could begin to dream.

“We were always hoping,” says the stadium chairman. “From my perspective, we’re €2 million in debt, we need these games. Not like Semple Stadium and the Gaelic Grounds... they get at least two big games a year.
