Galvin: Kennelly loss a major blow

Opel GPA Footballer of the Year Paul Galvin feels that Tadhg Kennelly's decision to return to Aussie Rules is a major blow to Kerry's chances of capturing their 37th All-Ireland SFC title next year.

Kennelly communicated with Kerry County Board officials last night, informing them of his decision to return to Australia where it is believed he will make a comeback as a player-coach with the Sydney Swans, although an offer from St Kilda is also believed to be on the table.
