Injury less serious than feared for relieved Sheehan

KERRY football captain Bryan Sheehan has expressed relief that the ankle injury he sustained in Sunday’s McGrath Cup victory over Waterford wasn’t as serious as he feared.

A x-ray in Tralee General Hospital confirmed that the St Mary’s attacker had torn ligaments in his left ankle which will require a recuperation period of up to six weeks.

However, Sheehan admitted last night that his first instinct was that he had broken the bone in the accident clash at Fitzgerald Stadium.
