The final tally was 27 to 1 between Kerry and Tipperary, with Kerry for the win.
A nil-all draw was recorded between Kilkenny and Cork. The competition was not of a GAA nature, but a young Raine McKeever counting the flocks of sheep between our house in Kilkenny and Dingle, Co Kerry, as we made that trip south this week.
On a long car journey, we have become proficient in using our imagination to pass the time. Of late, the McKeever version of “Animal Guess Who” – “Does it have four legs?”; “Does it have fur?”; “Does it live on the farm?” – had been the game of choice, but it appears that this too, has run its course.
