The Kingdom boy done good

He turned his back on a promising GAA career but tonight Billy Dennehy can become only the second Kerryman to win Irish soccer’s biggest prize. He spoke to Liam Mackey.

HAD events taken a different course, he might have won All-Ireland honours in the green and gold of Kerry but instead Billy Dennehy now stands on the brink of a league and cup double in the green and white of Shamrock Rovers.

The first 90 minutes which will define his season takes place at the Carlisle Grounds in Bray tonight where Rovers can clinch their first title in 16 years.
