Kennelly looks to the future ahead of second Test

THE last great example of the Irish experiment will fly back home next week with much to ponder about his future.

Refusing to rule out a return to Kerry colours, Tadhg Kennelly plays his final competitive game in Australia when he dons the Ireland jersey one final time.

There are offers Down Under to weigh up but there’s a grá in him to finish out his playing days with Listowel Emmets alongside his brother Noel and friends. With that, the possibility of wearing the green and gold is a live one while he knows his suspect right knee, bereft of cartilage and after three operations, wouldn’t be stretched in gaelic football as much as it would be in the AFL.
