Walsh facing fight to be fit

FORMER young player of the year Tommy Walsh is facing an uphill battle to keep his place for Kerry’s All-Ireland semi-final against Meath on Sunday.

Even though Kieran Donaghy is a definite non-starter at this stage, Walsh may lose out to Tadhg Kennelly, who impressed when introduced in the quarter-final rout of Dublin.

The Kerry starting 15 will not be announced until Thursday, but Darran O’Sullivan and Donncha Walsh look certain to retain their places in the Kingdom attack for the battle with Meath.
