Paul Geaney: We were like U23 squad

Paul Geaney has admitted that it felt like he was playing for the Kerry U23s at times earlier this year.

A mixture of injuries to key players, unavailability and pressure to blood former minor stars led to Kerry manager Eamon Fitzmaurice experimenting with 37 different players in Division 1, the most of any team.

That’s three more than champions Dublin, who played an extra game, and a full eight more than Galway who also got an extra game with the final.
