Cuala look to Kerry’s Dublin star Darragh O’Connell
Darragh O’Connell smiles wryly at the mention of his background: “No matter where you go, I suppose you are always going to get one or two jokes about being from Kerry and playing hurling, but I am well used to it, at this stage.”
Kerry and Leinster will become better acquainted next year when new manager Ciaran Carey leads the county into the province’s qualifier group but, for now, the link is Abbeydorney’s O’Connell. Having transferred to Cuala at the start of the year, the 24-year-old could never have envisaged wearing the navy and blue of the county, never mind being 60 minutes from a Leinster title.
