95% of Kerry pitches currently unplayable
The inclement weather has reinforced the need for their centre of excellence, which will be split between Tralee IT and Currans and is in line to be completed by the end of the year. With only five floodlit pitches in the county, the Kerry senior football panel have alternated their training sessions between Dr Crokes and Rathmore thus far this year.
“Pitches are under water, roads are under water so we are finding it hard to get games organised and senior county training done,” said O’Sullivan. “The flooding in Kerry has driven us bonkers, if I’m honest. If somebody were to walk every pitch in Kerry tomorrow morning they’d find 95% of them wouldn’t be playable.
