Pics: Sun shines on Kerry in these fantastic GAA snaps by INPHO

JOE

The McGrath Cup was the setting for some very scenic photographs by INPHO.

The quality of games being served up in pre-season GAA tournaments may be best described as mixed but the quality of photography is still top class.

The weather at this time of year may be miserable for fans and players alike but it does give ample opportunity for country’s sports photographers to get some great shots.

And that was best demonstrated this weekend by INPHO’s Cathal Noonan. Down in Tralee to cover Kerry’s game against CIT in the McGrath Cup, Cathal stayed around after the game to capture the Kingdom’s players during their warm down. The various stretches and lunges aren’t that captivating, but the sun beaming out from behind the clouds, illuminating the whole scene magnificently, certainly is.

This in-game shot is pretty special too.

And, thanks to a Barry John Keane goal, Kerry won the game too, 2-12 to 0-13. A good day all round for the Kingdom.
