Kerry move Ó Sé from defence to midfield

FOOTBALLER of the year Tomás Ó Sé has been presented with a fresh challenge ahead of Kerry's televised Allianz NFL clash with Dublin in Tralee tomorrow night.

Unhappy with the displays at midfield so far this season, the Kingdom selectors have decided to experiment with the dashing wing back alongside Kieran Donaghy in a new centre-field partnership for the visit of Paul Caffrey's side.

"It may be a bit of a risk," said Kerry coach Jack O'Connor last night. "But Tomás seems to have a lot of the necessary tools for midfield - mobility, strength, a good leap and a great engine. He is also an excellent link player," said the All-Ireland winning trainer.
