Ardfert reaction: Proud O’Driscoll hails ‘unbelievable bunch’
The Ardfert manager hailed his charges as an “unbelievable and special bunch” in returning to Croke Park after an eight-year absence to secure the Kerry club’s third All-Ireland football crown.
“The goal was huge,” noted O’Driscoll. “St Croan’s haven’t been led all year. They have won every match and won well. They play a sweeper and work from short kick-outs. We watched videos and studied them. We put their kick-outs under pressure, forced their goalkeeper to go long. They were unlucky not to get two or three goals so I think the scoreline was a bit unfair on them, But definitely our goal was the turning point.
