Kerry manager Jack O'Conner has led his county to an All-Ireland title or the fourth time, in his third tenure in charge of the Kingdom. He told RTÉ after the game that football is a "religion" in Kerry.

"This means everything to us. Every man woman and child in Kerry is celebrating this evening. It’s like a religion down there, it’s in our blood. It just means everything. Delighted for the people of Kerry, delighted for the players and everybody involved."
