Kenny issues ultimatum to dual players

WICKLOW football boss Hugh Kenny has demanded his dual players to decide between his squad or hurling.

Kenny was incensed when Wayne O’Gorman received a straight red card in the NHL, which rules him out of tomorrow’s clash with Kildare in the NFL at Aughrim. Now the football boss has called on O’Gorman and team mate Gary Doran to decide where their commitments are for the 2004 season.

Meanwhile, Kildare welcome back midfielder Killian Brennan for his first game of season for tomorrow’s clash.

Brennan, who has recovered from groin surgery, will partner Alan Barry at midfield with captain Dermot Earley moving to left half forward.

Brian Lacey who missed the previous game against Tipperary due to a hand injury returns at right full back but there is a vacancy in the other corner of the defence, where Andrew McLoughlin is rated as doubtful.

Meanwhile, Kilkenny and Tipperary will come face to face in a benefit game for the John Coogan injury fund at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny tomorrow.

KILDARE (SF v Wicklow): E Murphy, B Lacey, D Hendy, AN.Other, E Callaghan, G Ryan, K Ennis, A Barry, K Brennan, M O'Sullivan, J Doyle, D Earley, P Brennan, D McCormack, T Fennin.
