McCarthy set to lead Kingdom in Munster final

DEFENDER Mike McCarthy is likely to captain Kerry for Sunday’s Munster SFC final in Killarney.

County champions Kerins O’Rahillys last night nominated the Kilcummin man to lead the side against Liam Kearns’ Limerick in the event that neither of their own representatives, Declan Quill or Mike Quirke, make the starting fifteen.

Quill has almost recovered from a thigh strain but despite starting against Tipperary in the provincial semi-final, may lose out in the competition for places in attack.
