Maurice Fitzgerald may be part of Peter Keane’s team

They had word of Peter Keane’s appointment in the wards of Kerry University Hospital after lunch yesterday — but there will be no confirmation from the Kerry County Board of the decision until Monday night’s scheduled meeting in Tralee.

Examiner Sport revealed yesterday that Keane has been approved as the preferred choice of the four-person executive sub-committee set up in the wake of Éamonn Fitzmaurice’s departure in August, and while Keane won’t be present, his management team will be announced to delegates Monday.
