Billy Morgan shot Graham O’Sullivan a good luck text last Sunday morning. The Kerry corner-back replied almost immediately, thanking his old Sigerson boss for the well wishes.

Morgan, who had O’Sullivan for three years at UCC, never had any doubt that he would acquit himself just fine on the afternoon of his All-Ireland final debut, and neither was he the least bit surprised when the 24-year-old grew into one of Kerry’s most influential players as the second half developed.
