Double delight for Crokes duo
The Castlegregory man had been part of a West Kerry side that was just pipped by a point against Dr Crokes in the senior semi-final. There are plenty ways to cope in the aftermath of a gut-wrenching championship defeat but choosing to fraternise with a dose of X Factor is a novel approach.
Yet that is what Spillane did. With his Kerry endeavours for 2011 concluded, his focus switched over to the county boundaries where a Cork final appearance with UCC on Sunday awaited him. Johnny Buckley and Daithí Casey had been his foes as Dr Crokes players but now they were friends as UCC team-mates.
