Kerry Wins, Mourns Life Losses
Kerry boss Peter Keane thought of those at home mourning loved ones as his team debated the merits of a 1-19 to 1-8 dethronement of Munster SFC champions Tipperary in Semple Stadium on Saturday.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game that sealed a provincial decider date with Cork, Keane said, “This week we’ve just had has been very tough in Kerry. There was a young man who lost his life in a motorbike accident late on Tuesday night, we just heard about it when we were leaving the field. A young man from Killorglin called Jimmy O’Connor.

Masks are being worn when people aren t sipping from pint glasses. There s no live band, only a Spotify playlist. Scruffy-looking doorman John Jersey Mazur, clad in a black hoodie and neck gaiter, is keeping things at half-capacity.
But Seamus McCaffrey s has rowdy good times built into its DNA, and in many ways, this COVID-era weekend night isn t unlike the thousands that have preceded it here on the ground floor of the Hotel San Carlos, at Monroe Street near Central Avenue. Out front, smokers swap stories at full tables. The sound of clinking glasses and laughter punctuates a thrum of Celtic punk coming from the sound system.
