Former Clare All Ireland winner Pat Kelly says he feels Kerry hurling will benefit from the recent success they have been enjoying.
The Clarecastle man was part of the Kingdom side that claimed the Christy Ring Cup on Saturday, having opted to transfer to his mothers native county this year.
Kelly continues a strong link between Clarecastle and Kerry hurling, with former All Ireland winning captain Anthony Daly having spent some time in charge of North Kerry club side Kilmoyley.
Victory for the Kingdom sees them entered into the Leinster Round Robin Championship for 2016, having already secured promotion to Division 1B of the Allianz League, where Kelly will face his former Clare teamates.
He says for weaker counties, it's all about taking it one step at a time
