Donaghy: We pulled off something ‘unbelievable’

Kieran Donaghy says Kerry’s achievement in winning an All-Ireland this year was "unbelievable" in light of the loss of a number of senior players to injury and retirement last season.

The Austin Stacks star was speaking at Croke Park yesterday, where he was named GAA/GPA Player of the Month for September after a remarkable contribution to the Kingdom’s 37th All-Ireland title.

“I know there was talk of a crisis,” Donaghy said. “I never thought there was a crisis. I knew we were going to be in a bit of bother but that with fellas coming back we’d get our act together.
