Kingdom boost as Donaghy returns to training

INJURED star Kieran Donaghy has given Kerry a major boost ahead of the All-Ireland semi-final clash with Meath on Sunday week by making a return to training.

Donaghy has been sidelined from action since breaking a bone in his left foot during the All-Ireland Qualifiers second round clash with Longford on July 11.

In the interim, the talismanic full-forward missed the subsequent qualifiers against Sligo and Antrim, as well as the All-Ireland quarter-final against Dublin. But Donaghy provided the Kingdom with a glimmer of hope that he might be able to play some part in the showdown with the Royals by resuming running last weekend.
