Disappointed Kelly hopes to earn Déise recall

WATERFORD star Eoin Kelly has issued a statement on his exclusion from the Déise hurling squad, outlining his disappointment with the decision.

Kelly was dropped from the panel by new manager Michael Ryan earlier in the week but the two-time All Star has stressed that he is willing to play for the county again.

“I’m obviously very disappointed to be dropped from the inter-county squad,” Kelly said in his statement, which was issued to the Irish Examiner yesterday.
