Walsh: Donaghy will shine when it counts

KERRY star Kieran Donaghy has been backed to return to top form and lead Kerry into the All-Ireland SFC final, by his former team-mate Tommy Walsh.

While Donaghy has struggled this season to replicate the form that saw him crowned Footballer of the Year in 2006, Walsh believes that the iconic Kerry full-forward will regain his best form sooner rather than later.

“If Kerry are to win the All-Ireland then Kieran Donaghy is absolutely vital. They need him on song,” said Walsh, who is currently contracted with AFL club St Kilda.
