One less option for Kerry as Kearns rejoins Rathmore

A man being tipped as a contender to replace Jack O’Connor at the helm of Kerry football has returned to management at club level.

Liam Kearns rejoined Rathmore ahead of their SFC meeting with Legion next month after confirming their parting was always going to be temporary.

Kearns will train and manage Rathmore for the rest of 2012 and all of 2013. He is considered to be one of the best man managers in the game and will have a strong squad at his disposal with only John Moynihan (long-term injury) and Kerry U21 Donal O’Sullivan (who has emigrated to the US to go to college) missing out.
