It’s almost as good as that Oscar selfie
Hats off the Kerry hurlers this afternoon who made a mockery of the GAA rules of promotion and relegation by winning their way to promotion to Division 1B of the hurling league after a 2-16 to 1-18 win over Antrim.
The Kingdom beat Westmeath to win the Division 2A title and Antrim finished bottom of Division 1B, but still the two sides had to play off in a frankly ridiculous promotion/relegation play off this afternoon.
John Egan proved the hero for Kerry as his injury time point secured a famous win for the Kingdom after three years of finishing top of Division 2A but not getting promotion.
After the game Ray McManus of Sportsfile took this fantastic shot of the team celebrating in the dressing room with the obligatory selfie:

And we managed to track down the efforts of coach Conor Gleeson who took the pic:

If this isn’t what the GAA is all about then we are stumped.
