Tadhg Kennelly gave his first coaching lesson to the pupils of Knockaclarig NS. on Friday afternoon last. Tadhg, son of the late and great legendary All-Ireland winning captain, Tim Kennelly and brother of All-Ireland winner Noel, is back from Australia where during the past decade he made a name for himself as a highly valued member of the famous Sydney Swans in the process propelling them to an Australian  title. Such is  his ability he successfully made the transition from Gaelic football to the Australian game with a resounding impact.

Tadhg had an instant rapport with the students and his well thought out and implemented drills and strategies got a ready and willing response. We shall be uploading video during the coming weeks.

On Sunday Tadhg was on the Kerry team travelling party to Derry for the National Football League game. Introduced in the final quarter of the game he contributed handsomely to a well earned Kerry victory.
