Rebuilding begins as Fitzmaurice brings in Ó Sé and O’Sullivan

NEW Kerry U21 coach Eamonn Fitzmaurice has moved quickly to put an impressive back-room team in place for next season — including former Munster rugby forward John O’Sullivan as physical trainer.

Ex-senior selector Fitzmaurice will unveil former playing colleague Darragh Ó Sé and Dr Crokes coach Harry O’Neill as two of his three selectors next week as he begins the process of rebuilding the Kingdom’s tarnished reputation at under age level.

He has pulled off a coup in securing the services of O’Sullivan, who was recently forced to retire from the professional game in France with Agen because of a persistent neck injury. He played in the back row with Connacht and Munster before his move to France.
