Fitzmaurice to end playing career if Finuge bow out

Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice, inset, will call time on his own playing career if Finuge lose to Cork Premier IFC winners St Vincent’s in tomorrow’s Munster Club intermediate football final.

A broken jaw sustained in the replayed Kerry final against Spa on November 4 has ruled out Fitzmaurice from the Mallow showdown.

And unless the north Kerry outfit progress to an All-Ireland semi-final tie in the New Year, Fitzmaurice will solely devote himself to his team-management duties for the foreseeable future.
