Moynihan will have final role

SÉAMUS MOYNIHAN is certain to play a part in Kerry’s bid to regain the Sam Maguire Cup in Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final against Mayo - but probably as an impact substitute.

Out of action since suffering an ankle injury in a club game on June 20, he has made significant progress since the semi-final win over Derry, to the delight of manager Jack O’Connor.

“I know he has made a monumental effort to get himself right. At times he could not see any light at the end of the tunnel, but seeing him working alone with the weights and aqua jogging, I felt if there was any justice he will play a part in the final,” he commented.
