Kennedy says his new role a ‘huge step up from minors’

FORMER Kerry footballer John Kennedy is relishing his new role at the helm of the Clare senior footballers.

Kennedy, an All-Ireland winner in 1984 and former selector with the county minor side, was appointed to the position for a two-year term in place of the outgoing Pat Begley.

“I met with chairman Fr Michael McNamara and Tom Downes of the football board a couple of weeks ago,” the Asdee man said.
