Jimmy Keane will never forget the Kerry county senior football final of 1988.

The Brosna man, a 21-year-old rookie at the time, lined out in the number seven jersey for complete underdogs, St Kieran’s, who stunned Dr Crokes (0-10 to 0-3) to claim the divisional side’s first senior title since the 1950 success of a Castleisland selection.
