Quirke: Kerry midfield criticism is ridiculous

FORMER All-Ireland winning Kerry midfielder Micheál Quirke is angry at the criticism Kerry’s new midfield partnership of Bryan Sheehan and Anthony Maher has received this season.

Quirke, who stepped back from the Kerry senior panel in August, has leapt to their defence and backed them to inspire Jack O’Connor’s side to All-Ireland glory against Dublin on Sunday week.

“A lot of the criticism the two lads have received is a bit ridiculous, really,” Quirke stated.
