Star of small screen Kelly ready for bigger stage

Clare star Tony Kelly has revealed he spent 10 hours in Croke Park filming Sky Sports’ 40-second GAA championship TV ad.

Last year’s Hurler of the Year, Kelly and his football equivalent Michael Darragh Macauley appear in the segment, which aired for the first time last week.

Both players are believed to have received five-figure sums for their participation, which also includes posing for images on the nationwide billboard campaign.
