Kerry are in but now Tipp skip interpros

Munster Council chairman Sean Walsh last night moved to clear up a misunderstanding surrounding the availability of Kerry players for the province’s M Donnelly Interprovincial semi-final against Leinster in Parnell Park next Sunday and described as “unfortunate and disappointing” theunavailability of Tipperary players in the squad due to county trainingcommitments.

Munster manager Ger O’Sullivan expressed his disappointment on Wednesday at the lack of Kerry footballers available for selection but Walsh insists only three members of Jack O’Connor’s squad were in fact unavailable. Goalkeeper Brendan Kealy, defensive duo Aidan O’Mahony and Tomás Ó Sé and midfielder Seamus Scanlon were the four Kerryrepresentatives included in the 24-man squad announced yesterday.

“I think there was just a misunderstanding about this situation,” outlined Walsh.
