Kealy gets down on bended knee

Kerry men thrive on pressure. With doubts about their ability and Tyrone coming to town they responded with the performance of the summer.

But while most players were keeping their heads down in the build up, Kerry goalkeeper Brendan Kealy, right, was preparing to ask his girlfriend to marry him.

On Friday she said yes and following the victory he admitted it was “a big sigh of relief on all fronts”. His team-mates broke the news on Twitter yesterday.
