Diarmuid Connolly pays tribute to Kerry fan that followed through on All-Ireland forfeit

This Kerry fan always pays her debts.

Kerry fans are still coming to terms with losing to Dublin in last Sunday’s All-Ireland football semi-final.

The Kingdom lost a classic game 2-14 to 0-22, narrowly missing out on their first victory over Dublin since 2009 and a place in the All-Ireland final, having led at half-time.

A Kerry ‘super fan’ made a bet on the game, and the forfeit was to get a tattoo of Dublin footballer Diarmuid Connolly.

Connolly paid tribute to the Kerry fan, who followed through with the forfeit, on Twitter.
