Brosnan in hunt for Kerry captaincy

Eoin Brosnan’s consistent club form is likely to provide Dr Crokes with a viable alternative to naming Colm Cooper as Kerry captain for a third consecutive season.

There are the likes of Kieran O’Leary and Johnny Buckley too but the 32-year-old appears the best placed to take the role should Cooper decide not to accept it once more.

After winning his fourth Kerry SFC title, Brosnan, who skippered Kerry previously in 2001, and in Cooper’s stead in the league last year, was somewhat circumspect about his inter-county future – “the legs aren’t that young anymore but I’m enjoying my football and we’ll see how things go”.
