O’Shea keen on Kerry captaincy

BARRY O’Shea won’t dismiss out of hand the idea of being the next Kerry captain but he has experienced enough of the ups and downs of inter-county football to realise the talk may amount to nothing more than media speculation.

Nevertheless, he admits the prospect of resurrecting his career is appealing and the fact of Kerins O’Rahillys having the honour of captaincy for the first time in 45 years will be a powerful motivation.

In March 2000, he damaged his cruciate ligament in a League game against Roscommon in Fitzgerald Stadium.
