O’Sullivan would rather lose than ditch Kerry principles

Darran O’Sullivan has claimed he would rather Kerry lost playing ‘old school’ football than win by the means which are increasingly becoming the norm in the modern game.

The Glenbeigh man knows how that will probably sound given it is still just over a week since the Kingdom lost a gruelling All-Ireland quarter-final to Donegal but he stressed it was not a case of sour grapes.

“I wouldn’t enjoy being told to stay back,” he explained at the launch of Ulster Bank’s GAA Force initiative.
