‘The more St Mary's are playing, the sweeter their game,’ gushes Maurice Fitzgerald
For seven of his St Mary’s team, Saturday’s Munster final win brought the curtain down on 10 consecutive weekends of championship football, between club and South Kerry duties.
Their performance against Carrigaline wasn’t suggestive of a group that has been on the go, non-stop, since late September, and neither were their jubilant, post-match celebrations. “These lads are on the run for a good number of weeks now. They have put in a good shift. A lot of people are saying they are tired, but the more ball they are playing, the sweeter their game is,” said Fitzgerald.
