Kerry maestro Micko fears skills neglected in the modern game

Drills are killing skills — so says the not-so-retiring Mick O’Dwyer.

The Kerry great was speaking at the Kerry GAA Club forum in the Manor West Hotel in Tralee on Saturday. For half an hour he had the audience enthralled as the keynote speaker: two standing ovations attest to that.

Afterwards, the Waterville native spoke to the Irish Examiner. During his speech he revealed his dislike for the structured nature of improving skills.
