Sheedy talked me into taking Kerry job

New Kerry hurling boss Eamonn Kelly admitted he was talked into the job by Liam Sheedy and will be bringing Brendan Cummins in as goalkeeping coach.

The Kildangan clubman from North Tipperary was offered the Kingdom’s reins but it was only after a conversation with former All-Ireland winning manager Sheedy that he decided to commit.

“We’re very good friends and have been since we were 14 years of age and Liam said to me ‘I’m telling you there’s a few gears left in these fellas’,” said Kelly.
