Kerry lacking players with senior experience for Tralee clash with Cork

While it is a side lacking in any senior experience, there are still some familiar surnames in the Kerry side to play Cork in the Cadbury Munster U21FC quarter-final in Austin Stack Park tomorrow night (7.30pm).

Pádraig Ó Sé at centre-back is the son of the late Páidí while Adrian Spillane, who lines out at number 12, is Tom Spillane’s son. In addition, sub Niall Sheehy is a grandson of Niall Sheehy, an All-Ireland winner in 1959 and ’62.

With an agreement in place between U21 manager Darragh Ó Sé and his senior counterpart Eamonn Fitzmaurice, no member of the Kingdom side has played at senior before.
