Whelan laments rule keeping Kerry stars out of reach

Kerry U20 selector Eamon Whelan is disappointed with the rule which prevents David Clifford and Seán O’Shea from playing with their side today.

Kerry travel to Newcastlewest (7pm) for their Munster championship opener against Limerick but will be without the two players who captained the county to 2016 and 2017 All-Ireland minor success.

Under general rule, any player who is selected on a 26-man senior championship squad is ineligible to play in an U20 match in the same year.
