Mikey Sheehy says Kerry won’t play Tommy Walsh at full-back
All-Ireland winning-manager Éamonn Fitzmaurice hinted earlier this year the returning Walsh could emulate his father by lining out for Kerry at full-back and while Sheehy accepts the Kingdom have problems in defence to contend with, it is unlikely that Walsh will be stationed in front of ‘keeper Brendan Kealy this weekend.
Kerry boasted the highest concession rate (9-90) of the eights teams operating in Division 1 of the league this spring and their defensive options for the trip to Thurles could be strained if All Star corner-back Paul Murphy fails to recover from a shoulder injury picked up during last week’s warm weather training camp in Portugal.
