Peter Keane shoots down Jim Gavin’s Kerry theory

Peter Keane wasn’t the least bit surprised to hear Jim Gavin regard his Kerry side as a team of the now, rather than one for the future. And not alone did he disagree with the sentiments of the Dublin manager, the Kerry boss used every available opportunity to draw attention to the fact that so many of his players are not two years on the inter-county scene.

At Dublin’s All-Ireland final press conference at Parnell Park, Gavin expressed the view that there is plenty of experience in this Kingdom set-up, claiming Kerry’s time “is right now, it’s not next year”.
