Moynihan hails McCarthy’s return

SEAMUS MOYNIHAN agrees that the return of Mike McCarthy to the Kerry squad is the perfect boost for Jack O’Connor ahead of preparations for the championship in five weeks’ time.

While expecting that he would come back, at the same time, Moynihan said he wouldn’t have been surprised if the Kilcummin man had decided to “throw in the towel”.

“He hadn’t ruled himself in or out, he did the right thing. He gave himself a bit of space after the All-Ireland. It’s great to see him come back,’’ he said.
