Could Bryan Sheehan’s return save Kerry from the GAA Division 1 drop?

Art is born of humiliation. [W.H. Auden]

If what W.H. Auden once said to a young Stephen Spender is true then we could be in for a classic in Healy Park, Omagh tomorrow. Sadly we suspect Tyrone’s humiliation at the hands of Donegal last weekend and Kerry’s poor showing against Monaghan will merely give rise to a less than uplifting exercise in the art of survival.

For the second time in three seasons, Kerry head to Healy Park trying to ensure their survival in Division 1. Two seasons ago their early enthusiasm nearly got bogged down in the heavily sanded pitch. The fact that the same pitch was bordering on waterlogged for the under -21 match in midweek adds to the feeling that this one could be a proper dogfight.
