1. BRENDAN KEALY (KERRY)


Club: Kilcummin; Age: 29


Height: 6ft 1in; Weight: 13st


A major reason why the Kingdom went all the way to the All-Ireland final again this year­ and he did his best to stop them losing the decider to Dublin. Kealy made big saves at big moments in big games, including a superb one from Cork’s Stephen Cronin in the Munster final replay, stopping the Rebels getting a quick second goal. His strong-handed save, in that tricky area close to the body, from Tyrone’s Mark Bradley in the All-Ireland semi-final was appreciated by the real experts. There were some questions over his kick-outs against Dublin but, again, he showed impressive levels of concentration and rapid reactions to keep out clear goal chances.
