Kerry captain Aislinn Desmond on injury heartbreak: 'I’ve never been a spectator'

"I’ve never actually been injured before, never missed a game, and to miss this as captain is tough."

It was on the first Sunday of April when Kerry skipper Aislinn Desmond felt the snap in her left knee, writes Jackie Cahill.

The Kingdom were playing Monaghan in a Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 clash and after falling to the ground, Desmond knew that damage was done.
