Collective spirit and complete dedication has brought Kerry to Croke Park

Given his Defence Forces background, Kerry hurling manager Stephen Molumphy wouldn’t be one to tolerate commitment or application in half measures. Standards are set high and meeting them is not really up for negotiation.

Now nine months into his term as Kingdom boss, the former Waterford forward cannot say enough about the dedication of the new-look Kerry panel he has put together, one that stands 70 minutes from the county’s first Joe McDonagh title.
