O’Shea ponders return of star Kerry trio

PAT O’SHEA will decide tonight what roles the experienced trio of Colm Cooper, Paul Galvin and Declan O’Sullivan play in Sunday’s NFL Division One final against Derry at Parnell Park.

“Paul has basically been out for the league,” said the Kerry manager who will name his starting 15 after training. “It is a hamstring injury that is affecting him, although he is back training at the moment. We’re weighing up the option of the risk involved in him playing on Sunday.

“We would obviously love to have him play. He is the captain of the team and would obviously dearly want to play as well, but we will make the decision based on the player’s best interests rather than short-term gain.
