Kelly eyes March return for Rebels

Cork footballer Patrick Kelly is hoping to be back in action in time to play some part of his county’s Allianz Football League Division 1 campaign in 2014.

Kelly missed all of the league this year as he recovered from a hip operation and while he saw some game-time during the championship, the problem returned, necessitating surgery a fortnight ago.

With that having gone well though, the Ballincollig man is anticipating a slow process.
