Kerry Boston’s heartbeat: ‘It has been a week of dreams’

At the Stateside club where it all began for Jack O'Connor they have their own revival to focus on this week. Glories at home have given added motivation

Before Jack O’Connor was the five-time All-Ireland winning manager, he was an Irish teacher in Cahersiveen. Before Timmy O’Neill set out to forge a life Stateside, he was a hopeful student, ready to chase something greater. They were united by a county and a creed.

“I heard Jack’s speech in Kenmare this morning,” says O’Neill, originally from Sneem but now living in Boston.
