Kearns, who took the helm after Andy Shortall resigned, saw his side massacred by Offaly in the opening round of the provincial championship and only 19 of the 27 man squad from that game, have made themselves available for the weekend. Two more have cried of due to injury.
Kearns stated: “We’ve had one training session when nineteen players made themselves available, but both James Ryan and Kieran Nolan are unavailable this Saturday, leaving us with just 17 players.”
