Rathmore’s incredible goalkeeping pedigree

In the 55th minute of Sunday's All-Ireland Intermediate final, Conor Donaghy played a perfect ball over the top into the arms of Daniel Kerr. His marker had slipped so Kerr was straight through on goal and, while he did almost everything right by playing the ball low along the turf, Rathmore goalkeeper Kenneth O’Keeffe got his outstretched right foot to the ball to deflect it out for a ’45.
