From trying to avoid becoming the first Kerry team to be relegated from Division 1 in 24 years one Sunday to winning the title the next, Barry Dan O’Sullivan admits the past week was surreal for the group.

“After the Galway game, I shook the hand of a fan and he said, ‘Great stuff, you’re in a league final’ and I didn’t believe him for a minute because it wasn’t on the cards for us,” admits the Dingle man. “We knew we had to beat Armagh and then when Tyrone beat Donegal we knew we had to beat Galway to stay up so it was about avoiding relegation for us.
