Ó Sé slips into Kerry hot-seat

It would be one for any coach’s curriculum vitae: managing All-Ireland champions Kerry in their first outing since September’s success against Donegal.

However, the Kingdom seem to have stopped just short of an unseemly scramble for someone to take charge of Sunday’s McGrath Cup clash with IT Tralee by securing the services of U21 boss Darragh Ó Sé at the eleventh hour.

All but four of the All-Ireland winning squad and team management are in South Africa on holidays and won’t return until next Monday.
