How key was Jack to Kerry's resurgence? Massive, reckons Diarmuid O'Connor

SINCE injuring his shoulder in the final minutes of Kerry’s March Allianz League clash with Armagh, Diarmuid O'Connor didn't get through 60, much less 70,  minutes until lining out for Na Gaeil in their opening Kerry Club SFC win over Austin Stacks on August 15. 

Since, O’Connor - along with former Kerry midfield partner Jack Barry - has steered Na Gaeil on a four game unbeaten run to a club final meeting with Dr Crokes this Sunday.
