Colman Kennedy: 'You don't want to be defined by something you did at 17'

The winning goal in the 2011 All-Ireland minor final has followed the Clonmel and Tipperary star

DELICATE FINISH: Clonmel Commercials' Colman Kennedy scores past Nemo Rangers Michael Aodh Martin.

That goal. It’s what Colman Kennedy will forever be remembered for. All of it. The mullet. The ferocity of the shot. With time ticking and just a point down, the audacity to take it on from over 20 metres out.

Winning an All-Ireland final and beating a starlet-studded Dublin side in such dramatic fashion as he did in that 2011 minor decider is only bestowed on a few pairs of shoulders and he doesn’t forget that. It actually is something to tell the grandkids.
