Geaney hails heroic O’Donoghue as match-winner joins long list of Kingdom shooting stars

Paul Geaney’s effusive praise of colleague James O’Donoghue captured the footballing capabilities of Kerry’s match-winning forward perfectly.

“It is the mark of a man that he only came back, he has only a couple of training sessions under his belt, and did what he did. He is a top class forward,” said Geaney.

The sporting public were never in doubt about O’Donoghue’s “top class forward” status, but the All Star footballer yesterday moved himself further up the ladder.
