Moynihan not enough to halt Mid machine

FOR a few seconds the crowd erupted — the sight of Seamus Moynihan taking to the Fitzgerald Stadium turf united all Kerry club supporters.

Mid Kerry had been leading by 1-2 to 0-3 when the man they revere in the Kingdom as one of the greatest returned from SFC retirement for the first time in three years. His impact and influence was so great that even Mid Kerry genuflected for a time, allowing the eastern side to come within a kick of causing the biggest shock in the county championship this year.

“He rode in the same as anybody else,” stated East Kerry manager James Sheehan before joining the congregation, “I’m not going to be adding to Seamus Moynihan now. He was if not one of the greatest players, the greatest player so I can’t really say any more about him. He’s a fantastic man.”
