Shane Enright ready to be a 'main man' for Kerry

Shane Enright is happy to forgo his birthday celebrations this Sunday. Being able to count himself as one of the leaders of Éamonn Fitzmaurice’s side is satisfaction enough.

The Kerry defender started all nine of Kerry’s league games and, barring a surprise reshuffling of the pack by Fitzmaurice, Enright will take up arms in the Kerry full-back line on the afternoon he turns 28.

He sees himself as more than a first-team regular at this stage. To borrow his own words, he’s one of the “main men” in this Kerry set-up. He doesn’t throw out such an assertion lightly, nor does his tone suggest he’s developed an arrogant streak off the back of his first All Star award picked up last winter.
