History weighs heavy as Dromid carry South Kerry flag

IT’S an extra pressure that Dromid Pearses could have done without.

Ahead of tomorrow’s Munster club junior football decider against Tipperary’s Kildangan at Moyvane (2pm), not alone are Kerry champions Dromid flying the Kingdom’s flag but they are also expected to maintain their district’s exemplary record in the provincial competition.

In the last few years, South Kerry has emerged as a real hot-spot for provincial and All-Ireland club success. Dromid’s divisional neighbours, Skellig Rangers (2008) and St Mary’s (2010), won the Munster and All-Ireland crowns while St Michael’s/Foilmore claimed national intermediate honours in the year between.
