Injured Rebel Kenny facing race against time as Premier clash looms large

CORK midfielder Tom Kenny is a major doubt for Sunday week’s Munster SHC quarter-final against Tipperary as he faces a race against time to shake off a hamstring injury and prove his fitness for the game.

Kenny sustained the problem while lining out for his club Grenagh in their Cork PIFC tie against St Michael’s on Sunday afternoon.

The injury was incurred when Kenny stretched to gain possession before half-time and despite being moved immediately from his midfield berth into full-forward, he failed to re-emerge for the second-half action.
