Galvin returns to Kerry training

KERRY captain Paul Galvin last night returned to his first county training since being controversially dismissed against Clare on June 15.

Galvin was handed a six months ban for slapping the notebook from referee Paddy Russell’s hands in the Kingdom’s opening game of the Munster Championship at Fitzgerald Stadium — which hosted last night’s session.

The Finuge man appealed the severity of the suspension and though the punishment was halved the former All Star has been unable to partake in any gatherings with Pat O’Shea’s three-in-a-row chasing squad until after midnight last Saturday night when his 12-week ban ended.
