Clearance in Kerry club football shows that even the worst situation can be rescued

Never give up.

It would have been very easy for Danny O'Sullivan to hang back and mark his man. It would have been very easy for him to turn around to his teammates and give out stink to them about being cut open straight down the middle. That's why Danny O'Sullivan is the Kerins O'Rahilly's captain, that's why he's a leader, that's exactly how we should all play the game. Favourites South Kerry defeated the Tralee outfit on Saturday, but the two sides served up an enthralling encounter with neither willing to let a place in the Kerry SFC final slip out of their hands. The sides were nip and tuck for the first half, it was score for score, tit for tat, and every time one team got the upper hand, the others responded just as quick. That's why every run, every tackle and every act of defiance and self-sacrifice counted. Kerry midfielder Bryan Sheehan raced in towards the O'Rahilly's goal with 44 minutes on the clock and looked odds on to slot his one-on-one home and to give his side a two point lead. He had the goalkeeper beaten, he did everything right, he was even ready to roll away in celebration, but that was when the aforementioned O'Sullivan came into his own. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/916681162604597253 Talk about instincts, talk about being in the right frame of mind to do something that your body was definitely telling you not to do. Unfortunately for O'Sullivan, a Sheehan inspired South Kerry went on to win the game by the bare minimum, and they will now come up against Dr. Crokes in the final. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/916686398048137216 Bryan Sheehan is certainly ready for it.
