Club must take priority for Kerry skipper Bryan Sheehan

Bryan Sheehan was last to depart the Gaelic Grounds field on Sunday evening, an endless queue of excited youngsters wanting their photograph with the new Kerry captain.

As Sheehan himself readily admits, 2015 will be hard to top, what with county and Munster glory with the club as well as captaining South Kerry to senior championship success.

While the New Year is hardly four weeks old, already the St Mary’s player has plenty to smile about; assuming for the second time in his career the role of Kerry captain and a return to Croke Park on February 6 with the players, family and friends he grew up with.
