Welcome to Episode 4 of The Football Pod Club with AIB, as a pair of Kerry superstars, Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh and Kayleigh Cronin, sit down with Tommy Rooney, Paddy Andrews and James O'Dononghue to chat through an incredible season, finally winning the Brendan Martin Cup, the celebrations, the aftermath, and how they bounced back from the heartbreak of multiple final defeats. We also talk about their very different journeys through football, playing different sports, and what’s next for both?
