Parting shot proves special for Brosna’s veteran keeper

AS swan songs go, they don’t get any better than Brendan Lane’s.

An amazing 26 years after winning his first Kerry novice football title with Brosna, the 46-year-old goalkeeper completed a famous double on Sunday as the north Kerry club defeated Scartaglin 1-9 to 0-11 in the decider at Fitzgerald Stadium.

For Lane, an ever present between the posts since 1983, it’s the perfect way to bow out from club football.
