Kerry not defending McGrath Cup
Despite having claimed the last two titles, Kerry’s inability to field a strong team has been cited as the main reason for the withdrawal according to outgoing county chairman Jerome Conway.
He reasoned: “We wouldn’t have a strong enough team for it. That’s what it boils down to. Some of the senior players will be taking an extended break and they will be using January to train rather than to play, so they will be back in time for the start of the National League in early February when we play Dublin.
