Brian Kennedy is an All-Ireland winner, All-star and aiming for Sam Maguire. He believes Tyrone are good enough. He’s not the only one. It feels like 2027 could be the most open and competitive championship in living memory. Brian believes there's up to 12 teams who will feel they can capture the ultimate prize. Can Tyrone?
With the new rules, the role of a midfielder has changed, but Brian Kennedy is more than just a 6’6” big man in the middle. A footballer, good feet and good on the ball. He mentions who his toughest opponents are, best footballers he’s played with and looks ahead to a stacked division two next year- where some big teams will miss out on Sam Maguire football. In part, Tanks to Oisin & Wicklow!
It’s a big winter for Brian, just back from his stag, a NYE wedding and organising life around football. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
We also reflect on the life of Ciara Mageean and her GAA Social podcast in July. Her passing shook a nation. A beautiful human being.
The GAA Social with Tyrone midfielder Brian Kennedy. Quiet, sound and full of football.
PS- nobody measures up to Peter Canavan.
