Gaelic football has undergone many changes in recent times, facing up to the challenges of modernisation, the demands of dealing with the growing professionalisation of the game and introducing the radical alterations to the Championship format. The past decade has witnessed more and more counties competing at the highest level to ensure competitive Provincial and Championship formats right up to the September finale. But through it all, the men from the Kingdom have endured the many challenges to their throne as the masters of the game. With 34 All-Ireland titles in the bag and today’s semi-final victory over Dublin securing the 4th consecutive Final appearance, it would appear that Kerry remains a place apart.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
