It's a long road to Tipperary but not an issue, insist Dingle

...well at last not for the Kerry club's players and mentors. For some of their supporters, it's quite a trek but one they won't feel if they can annex a Munster Club SFC title on Sunday

HE'S scored a county final winning goal himself for Mid Kerry in 2008, guided his club, Glenbeigh/Glencar, to All-Ireland Junior Club success Croke Park in 2017 - and brought a talented Mercy Mounthawk, Tralee side all the way to Croke Park.

So Dingle coach Aidan O'Shea is not going to allow the length of road between west Kerry and Thurles derail preparations for Sunday's Munster Club SFC final against Cork's St Finbarr's.
