Kerry still playing conditioning catch-up, says Sheehy

Kerry selector Mikey Sheehy believes the team are still trying to catch up with the likes of Dublin and Mayo in the strength and conditioning stakes.

However, he has been buoyed by the advances coach Cian O’Neill has made with the players in that area since coming on board at the end of 2012.

Ahead of Sunday’s McGrath Cup final with Cork, the Kerry legend said: “If you look at Dublin, Mayo and Donegal, they are the barometer. Janey Mack, the physicality of those players. You see some of the Dublin guys with the jerseys off after the games in Croke Park last year and you can see they’re all a step ahead. Mayo are the same and Cian would have had an influence on that when he was there.
