Kelly ruled out of All-Ireland bid
The 2010 All-Star corner-back faces at least three months on the sideline because of a knee injury. Kelly had an operation on his troublesome right knee — which required surgery in 2011 after he ruptured his cruciate ligament — in early December after helping Two Mile House capture the Leinster junior club title.
His surgery was scheduled soon after the Leinster final on December 2 so that Kelly would be fit for the All-Ireland semi-final against Emyvale on January 26. However a check-up last Thursday showed further complications in the knee.
