New rules put more pressure on goalkeepers, reckons Kealy

The Offaly banter is nothing new to Brendan Kealy — he’s been hearing it for years at this stage.

His mother Bridget has long been domiciled in Killarney but she hails from Ballycumber, so 1982 and all that is old hat for the former Kerry goalkeeper.

The six-hour return trips to training in Kilcormac for Offaly’s new goalkeeping coach are nothing new either.
