Don’t ever question Kerry’s production line.
Joe Brolly made that mistake before. He made it way back in 2014.

Ever since, Kerry’s football factory has been putting in the long hours, the hard yards. As if the Derry pundit had just stoked a fire down in the south-west, the production line has been producing the country’s finest for sport ever since.
On September the 2nd 2018, Kerry’s minors won their fifth All-Ireland minor final in a row. Their minors now 1854 days unbeaten, they’ve won 30 minor games in a row, Kerry’s isn’t pulling its weight, that right?
And Kerry’s class of 2018, boy were they impressive on Sunday. Galway blew them out of the water for the first half hour but you only really find out what a team is made of when they come eye-to-eye with adversity.

The boys of Kerry stared adversity, in the form of a seven point deficit, in between the eyes and they stood up tall and pumped their green and gold chests out. They remained calm, they reeled Galway back and minute by second half minute, Peter Keane’s army just grabbed this game by the scruff.
Kieran Donaghy was proud of his county’s boys. There were wide smiles all over the Kingdom as they basked in the glory of the first ever team to win five All-Irelands in a row.
And the Star couldn’t let the moment pass without giving Brolly a timely reminder of those infamous words five years ago now.
Well done to all the teams down the years, what a fantastic achievement. @JoeBrolly1993 must be delighted with our production line in Kerry. #whatyouthinkofthat 😉 https://t.co/uo3zrOtiJz

Brolly accepted the dig gracefully.
Well done indeed.
Good man Kieran well done indeed https://t.co/wlC8XprvfI

But there’s no denying it, he’s never going to live that one down.
We somehow doubt Joe minds it too much though, he was enjoying himself out in Croke Park prior to throw-in, accepting the cheers of the crowd in GAA HQ as part of Derry’s 1993 All-Ireland winning heroes.
Some man for one man.
