All’s well that end’s well for Ballymacelligott captain Daire Keane. As he raised aloft the All-Ireland junior championship cup on Sunday, the glory eased every ache, pang and throb he has endured these past few months.

Football will take a backseat for Keane over the first part of this year as he looks to address a long-standing foot injury that curbed his contributions to Ballymac’s efforts earlier in their winning run.
