Kerry GAA CEO Hits Out At AFL

The CEO of Kerry GAA says they won’t take the recruitment of their young players by AFL clubs “lying down.”

Ben Murphy became the latest Kingdom prospect to move to Australia, signing for Premiership champions Brisbane last week.

Peter Twiss told The Irish Examiner that Kerry must “fight fire with fire” and work to make staying in Ireland more attractive for young players.

He also criticised Australian clubs for approaching players while they’re preparing for their Leaving Cert exams.

Radio Kerry commentator Tim Moynihan says he understands the frustration from the Kerry GAA board.
