Talk of Kerry’s demise premature, says Canavan

FORMER Footballer of the Year Peter Canavan has dismissed suggestions Kerry are a spent force, insisting that the Kingdom ‘don’t do demise very well.’

Jack O’Connor’s side have been written off in many quarters after their displays against Cork in the Munster championship yet the Tyrone legend is convinced last year’s defeated All-Ireland finalists can still challenge for the Sam Maguire.

Canavan said: “These are many reasons being bandied about by supporters and pundits and taking them at face value you would say that Kerry were indeed on the way down. A closer examination though of the ailing body may result in a different prognosis and one that would suggest to a very healthy recovery. Further probing has uncovered three parts of that body that are sure to aid recovery namely, Darragh Ó Sé, Colm Cooper and hunger!
