Kelliher’s Toyota Garage has gone for mix of new blood and experience after selecting its team for next Sunday’s All Ireland Football final.

The Kingdom’s Toyota dealership is an official sponsor of the Kerry County Board and they hope up inject passion and excitement into Kerry fans by going on a county-wide road trip this week.

Leading the attack is the all new Yaris Cross.

After making a successful debut at the semi-final last week, the Yaris Cross was a dead cert to be included in the team’s line-up for the final.

Decked out in the team’s official colours of Green and Gold, the Yaris Cross dazzled onlookers with a top scoring performance in Dublin last Sunday.

The Yaris Cross earned Car of the Match award after a colourful display along Dublin’s O’Connell St that left many D-registered cars trailing in its wake.

“This is Sam Maguire Gold,” said team manager Tim Kelliher in reference to the colourful player he has selected to lead Kerry to glory on Sunday.

Keen to build on the success of the Yaris Cross, a second one has been called in on off the bench and will join his twin brother in the squad.

While Tim and his selectors are always keen to showcase Toyota’s latest talent, they never forget those who have made massive contributions to the team over the years.

A classic Toyota Yaris, a key member of the 2001 campaign, has also been selected to do the business this week.

Team Kelliher’s Toyota Road Show, in support of the Kerry team, will visit Killarney on Thursday in the run up to the big game on Sunday.

They will call to the Killarney Advertiser’s office on High St (time to be confirmed) and everyone is welcome to meet the team ahead of the final.
