Can Kerry full-back line deal with Masters and O’Connor?

UNUSUALLY, Cork have delayed naming their team for the All-Ireland final until tonight.

The presumption is that the selectors want to explore every possible avenue for stalwart, Anthony Lynch to be involved. He deserves that and more. But the delay only serves to spice up the speculation that Skibbereen’s Conor McCarthy has forced his way back into the starting 15 at the expense of Daniel Goulding. That, in turn, would suggest James Masters will return from a broken jaw in his natural habitat of corner-forward.

And that’s a problem for Kerry.
