Ciarán Carey shielding players from Kerry hype

Kerry hurling manager Ciarán Carey admits “there’s a bit of a buzz” in the Kingdom about the county hurlers, but he’s trying to shield the players from it.

“If I was down there six or seven days a week, I’d probably feel it but I’m only down there two or three nights,” Carey said. “Obviously there’s a bit of a buzz down there but we’d be trying to keep the boys away from that.

“Things have changed down there, there’s a bit of talk about the hurlers now. Prior to this it would have been all football but I believe the footballers are even talking about the hurlers now which is a great sign.
