Weary winters spark Kerry veterans

KERRY defender Tom O’Sullivan believes a long winter spent twiddling thumbs could be enough to persuade some of the county’s older players to give another year to the senior footballers.

O’Sullivan and Diarmuid Murphy are both in their 30s but neither is expected to call time on their inter-county careers which means the spotlight is focused on two players in particular right now.

Speculating on Darragh Ó Sé’s intentions has become a national pastime in recent years while Michael McCarthy is another whose next move is being awaited with great interest.
