Colm Cooper delays Kerry call until Dr Crokes run ends

Kerry supporters will have to wait until Dr Crokes’ involvement in the club championship comes to an end before Colm ‘Gooch’ Cooper decides on his inter-county future.

Of course, that could mean it might be next March before the gifted 33-year-old makes a call on extending his career into a 16th season with the Kingdom.

Cooper followed up his man of the match display in the county final against Kenmare by delivering another supreme performance on Sunday as the Killarney club swept past the challenge of Kilmurry-Ibrickane in the Munster SFC quarter-final in Quilty.
