Kerry players still reaping benefits of the Buckley way, says Brosnan

It wasn’t just Mayo who benefited from Donie Buckley’s expertise last Sunday, according to Eoin Brosnan.

The Dr Crokes man saw in the performances of his club-mates Johnny Buckley and Fionn Fitzgerald the hallmarks of the Mayo coach’s work, Donie having trained the Kerry and Munster senior champions last season.
