The young and the restless

It’s been an immense year for Kerry’s Killian Young, and the young footballer of the year has a full diary all the way to Christmas — starting with tomorrow’s county final. Michael Moynihan reports.

AMID all the talk of burn-out and overburdened players, Killian Young is singing from a different hymn sheet. Football’s Young Player of the Year could be togging out deep into December, but he’s not complaining.

“It’s not that difficult because once you are moving to a different team, then it doesn’t seem as long. When Kerry finishes, that part of the year is over, when you exit the senior championship you then go back to your club so I don’t mind it — but I suppose the odd weekend off would be nice.
