O’Connor biding his time

KERRY boss Jack O’Connor last night refused to commit to staying on in charge of the Kingdom’s footballers and instead revealed he will take time to reflect on his future.

O’Connor urged the county’s players to do likewise as speculation continues that some of long-serving members of the team will call time on their inter-county careers in the wake of last Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final defeat against Down.

“We will let it settle for a week or so and maybe have a chat about it and make a decision then,’’ he said.
