Kerry fully embraced recent rule changes in the FRC era and responded with a dominant run that reshaped competitive balance. The county completed a clean sweep of league, Munster and the Sam Maguire, led by figures such as Paul Geaney and clubs like Dingle. Traditional elements met contemporary regulations as 'old money' allegiances combined with shiny new rules, producing a renewed, confident style described as Kerry's unique swash and buckle. The result is a wider rebirth of Gaelic football that may present a powerful challenge to other counties and conventional strategies.
