NOT even an 11th hour call from Kerry boss Jack O’Connor last week could persuade Tom O’Sullivan to change his mind over his inter-county retirement.

Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan has rejected claims by Paul Galvin that the county “are lagging behind at a coaching level”.

Kieran McGeeney’s calm expression at the final whistle was in contrast to the delirious hoots of joy from the significant Kildare crowd in Pearse Stadium as they secured promotion to Division 1 in the most dramatic circumstances.

Galway 0-18 Kildare 2-12, Tuam Stadium

Galway finished with a flourish to claim a vital victory at Pearse Park in Longford, but Monaghan manager Eamon McEnaney labelled the decision to stage this game at a neutral venue as farcical.

AT a time when Galway’s senior football stock has plummeted, the need to thrive at underage level has seldom been greater.

IT SEEMED like a good idea at the time, several years ago, the decision to allow New York play in the Connacht Senior Football Championship, thus keeping the exiles in touch with home base.

THE strange and unpredictable nature of U-21 football was manifestly evident again in Ennis on Saturday night.

GALWAY U21 boss Alan Mulholland said he was on a high for three days after winning the Connacht title — but was brought crashing back to earth when he saw Cork demolish Kerry in the Munster final.

SINCE a redeveloped Pearse Stadium was opened in 2003, it has proven to be an unhappy hunting ground for Roscommon football.

TOM O’SULLIVAN will make his first start for the Kerry senior footballers since last August’s All-Ireland quarter-final defeat against Down in Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 1 tie against Armagh in the Athletic Grounds.
