Former Kerry team-mates return to guide county’s fortunes

Back in 2004 when Kerry beat Mayo in the All-Ireland final, Eamonn Fitzmaurice, Diarmuid Murphy, Liam Hassett, Declan O’Sullivan, and Tommy Griffin, were all team mates in a side managed by Jack O’Connor.

Now they are all involved in the management of the various Kerry teams, as the county continues the policy of using the experience of ex-players as they ratify new management teams.

Last night at the County Committee meeting, new Kerry minor boss Peter Keane, named his two selectors, Tommy Griffin (Dingle) and James Foley (Kilcummin) and they will serve for a two year term.
