New boss expects old warriors to play on

New Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice doesn’t expect many of the team that started the All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Donegal to retire.

Four of the defence that lined out earlier this month will be 31 or more next year while in the forwards, Kieran Donaghy and Colm Cooper will join Paul Galvin as 30-somethings in 2013.

But the Finuge man, appointed on Monday evening, isn’t anticipating a glut of retirements.
