Crokes and Cooper mull over Kerry captaincy

Colm Cooper may not captain Kerry for a third successive season in 2013, it has emerged.

Dr Crokes hope to finalise its nomination for Kerry captaincy over the next few days and though the county champions have four possible options, it is felt the captaincy will rest between Cooper and Eoin Brosnan.

Cooper is not pushing for a third term due to the high number of extra-curricular commitments involved, but will accept the club’s nomination if asked. The club’s Kerry contingent have discussed the matter briefly between themselves and the club remains hopeful it can announce a nomination this weekend.
