Mike Quirke: Kerry have taken a stick to the biggest beehive in the woods

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Dublin are suddenly going to fall away now, writes Mike Quirke.

The last time Kerry won the National League was back in 2009 against Derry. That day, Anthony Maher and I were standing in the middle of Croke Park as the stadium announcer was calling out the teams.

As we looked around a near empty stadium coming up to throw-in, I said to Maher: “It would have been quicker to just introduce the crowd to the players, instead of the other way around. There’s less of them than us.”
