'He wants us to express ourselves' - The Clare supremo facing his native Kerry

Mark Fitzgerald rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in.Fitzgerald has steered the county to back-to-back Munster senior football finals for the first time in 87 years.

Fitzgerald has always taken things in his stride, whether that be playing or coaching amidst home comforts in the Kingdom, or challenging himself further afield. A steep incline followed: Dempsey departed after just five games, and his selector’s title quickly changed to interim manager. The season ended in a Tailteann Cup quarter-final exit and relegation from Division 2, and ultimately, Fitzgerald didn’t land the job on a full-time basis.

A routine 14-point win over Waterford secured their passage, and Kerry now lie in wait in Ennis’ Cusack Park tomorrow . There are other links of note. Former Kerry minor manager James Costello, for whom Fitzgerald was a selector in 2021, is now working under his tutelage. Many of the players they oversaw featured in Wednesday night’s U20 football final against Cork.
