Jack O’Connor hopes hurt will be a motivating factor for Kerry in 2024 as they look to bounce back from Sunday’s All-Ireland final defeat.

O’Connor has suffered the sting of three losses on the ultimate stage, making up for the 2005 final reverse against Tyrone with victory over Mayo the following year, and wants his players to use this pain in the new season.
