Brosnan keeping eye on the ball

Gaelic football is where his sporting interest lies and where his playing reputation has been established.

Yet Eoin Brosnan has kept an eye on hurling over the years, availing of rare summer Sundays off from Kerry and Dr Crokes to tip up the N22 from his Killarney home to take in a provincial championship game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Tomorrow he gets the chance to share a stage with a Munster hurling tie as the Kerry footballers’ joust with Tipperary serves as the curtain-raiser to the main show between the Premier hurlers and Limerick.
