Brosnan ready to fire up young guns

EOIN BROSNAN is ready to start for Dr Crokes in Sunday’s Kerry SFC final against holders South Kerry, and believes the Killarney young guns can pull off a surprise victory.

The Kerry star missed Crokes’ 2-7 to 1-4 semi-final replay victory over Laune Rangers with tonsilitis but will return to training tonight and feels the teenage talent in the squad can defy the odds again in Killarney on Sunday (3pm).

“We went into last Sunday’s replay with something to prove, because people were saying we were a top of the ground team,” said Brosnan. “But we ended up doing to Laune Rangers what many thought they’d do to us, ie, hit them hard and fair. Our full-back line is very young - 17, 19 and 19 - but they typified the determination of the side.”
