Mickey Ned: Backs hold key to final

THE team with the best defensive system in place will win the All-Ireland senior football final, according to former All-Ireland winning Kerry captain Mickey Ned O’Sullivan.

The new Kerry minor boss, who famously is the only All-Ireland winning captain not to receive the cup after he was concussed early in Kerry’s 1975 All-Ireland win over Dublin, believes this year’s final will be decided by tactics.

While pointing out Kerry have the experience and will rightly start as favourites, O’Sullivan is adamant about where the All-Ireland final will be won and lost.
