Dromid aiming for Croker date

THEY have watched on enviously over the last few years as South Kerry neighbours St Michael’s-Foilmore, Skellig Rangers and St Mary’s(Caherciveen) sampled the Croke Park stage.

Now Dromid Pearses are 60 minutes away from following in their footsteps. On Sunday they travel to Portlaoise to face Tyrone outfitDerrytresk in the All-Ireland Club JFC final and the experiences of their local rivals has been of assistance to manager Michael Anthony O’Connell.

“James Mike O’Sullivan [St Michael’s-Foilmore], Paul Murphy [Skellig Rangers] and Peter Keane [St Mary’s] have all been there before and have been a great help to me before this game. Everyone in South Kerry is geared into this and wishing us well.”
