The newly-crowned All-Ireland champions will break with tradition today and fly home to the Kingdom instead of taking the time-honoured route by train. The team will leave Dublin airport at 6 o'clock this evening, arriving in Kerry Airport, Farranfore, approximately one hour later. The team will then be taken by open-top bus to Tralee where they will be introduced to the crowd from the Ashe Memorial Hall. Following this reception, the team and management will continue onto Killarney for celebrations which are expected to continue throughout the week.
