Dermot Earley ‘disappointed’ as duo opt out of Kildare panel

Kildare great Dermot Earley has revealed his frustration with the decision of David Hyland and Darroch Mulhall to walk out on the panel midsummer.

Hyland featured as a substitute in last weekend’s heavy Leinster championship loss to Dublin before informing manager Jason Ryan that he was leaving the panel to travel. Mulhall has made a similar decision after being overlooked in all three of their championship matches so far.

It’s a considerable blow to Ryan’s options ahead of tomorrow’s All-Ireland qualifier clash with neighbours Offaly in Tullamore.
