Reunion of Duff, Kenny and Brian Kerr at Richmond Park an intriguing look at relations between Irish football’s leading figures
. It took until the 96th minute before Evan Caffrey threatened to shoot with his right foot before shimmying onto his left to finish through a thicket of bodies.
The smallest, usually irrelevant details have taken on more significance since Kenny returned to the domestic game last week. As a healthy Monday crowd of 4,811 trickled into the ground, Brian Kerr and Duff shared an embrace on the pitch. No surprises there. Their relationship goes back to Malaysia in 1997 when a teenage Duff lit up the Fifa World Youth Championship and Kerr’s kids took home the bronze medal.
So, to sum up, Kerr and Duff remain thick as thieves, Kenny and Duff are cordial, but relations between Kenny and Kerr need a little work. Sean Boyd has been in and out of Duff’s starting XI this season but his fourth goal in four games had a lot to do with Will Jarvis’s cross in the 15th minute. Boyd drifted off Anto Breslin and leaped over the full-back before his header gave Daniel Rogers no chance. Cupping ears in celebration, the striker wasted no time winding up the home crowd.
