Maher hitting the heights as Kingdom wintering well

On a couple of occasions in last Sunday’s McGrath Cup semi-final over Limerick, one man soared above all others to make the kind of catches that have defined Kerry football down the decades.

Duagh’s Anthony Maher, back in the county jersey after helping his club to a first North Kerry championship success in 50 years, was the man in question. Unfortunately, it has become an all-too-rare sight in a sport where breaking the ball is now the preferred method.

Should the traditionalists in Kerry be worried then? Is this something Maher and his team-mates have been working on?
