Death occurs of Kerry kitman Vincent Linnane

Long-serving Kerry football kitman and Austin Stack Park groundsman Vincent Linnane has passed away.

A native of Kiltimagh, Mayo, Linnane met his wife, Noreen, while living in Manchester and the pair moved to Ballyduff in the 1980s.

In 1989, he was approached by then Kerry County Board secretary Tony O’Keeffe with a view to overseeing a Fás scheme at Austin Stack Park. It was a role he would hold for almost three decades.
