Aaron Kernan out to impress at Sunderland

Aaron Kernan admits he feels a responsibility to Gaelic players to perform well when he joins up with Sunderland FC tomorrow. 

The former Armagh defender will spend a few days being filmed with the Premier League club as part of AIB’s Toughest Trade documentary, which will be screened on TV3 next month.

As part of the ‘swap’, ex-Tottenham Hotspur player David Bentley has already arrived in Kernan’s Crossmaglen where he trained on Monday night. This evening he lines out in the club’s challenge game against Silverbridge. Bentley has also taken up Kernan’s job as a property manager.
