The All-Ireland champions dreaming of divisional glory

Hear the one about the Kerry club who won county, provincial and All-Ireland titles and yet a divisional title remains beyond their grasp?

Brosna are likely to be the subject of one mean table quiz question but tomorrow they want to finally right that wrong. Their first North Kerry championship decider appearance, the challenge could hardly be stiffer against Listowel Emmets but manager Jimmy Keane isn’t perturbed: “Some people say there’s pressure on us because we haven’t been in the final but look we were never in an All-Ireland and we got over that so...”

Their run to the final is more reflective of a team with oodles of divisional success: their average winning margin across their three games amounting to over 11 points per game (Listowel’s is 10).
