Kerry can’t call on Kelly for MacCarthy Cup so Clare an option again

Former All-Ireland medallist Patrick Kelly is available for a potential recall with his native Clare in 2016 after being ruled ineligible to continue with Christy Ring Cup champions Kerry.

The 2013 Clare panellist transferred to Kerry this year and made an immediate impact with a key role in their Ring Cup success.

However, that second tier win has elevated Kerry to the same MacCarthy Cup status as Kelly’s home county, thereby ruling him ineligible for Kerry in 2016.
