Brosnan: New role could have suited Galvin

Eoin Brosnan insists Paul Galvin could have fulfilled a role at centre-back for Kerry despite having an indifferent game there in a recent challenge match.

Brosnan, who retired from inter-county football in December, lined out for the county and Munster champions against Galvin and Kerry in the game the weekend before last.

“I know that he was playing in the role at centre-back, Daithi Casey was on him and they had a good battle. It was a new position for him and, even when I went centre-back, you’re trying to say ‘am I filling a space here in front of the full-back line or marking your man?’ A lot can be read into challenge games and he was going to take a little bit of time to get into that position.
