Sheehan hits out again at Kerry system

JAMES SHEEHAN cuts straight to it. The recent Kerry SFC semi-final involving Mid Kerry and Laune Rangers was one of those experiences that he’d gladly like to avoid for the rest of his football days.

Guiding the divisional side may have been his job description but his lifetime membership of the club team created an emotional complication as he watched on from the sideline in Fitzgerald Stadium.

“I’ve made no secret of it, it was a very, very difficult thing to contend with. It was also difficult last year. At the final whistle this year I’d mixed emotions. But I’ve a job to do. When I was asked to train Mid Kerry there was always a possibility of meeting your own club. That happened, even if I’d have preferred if it didn’t. But you have to deal with the situation and to be fair Laune Rangers do understand that.”
