Mental strength the key for Kildare in 2019, says Peter Kelly

Experienced defender Peter Kelly has insisted Kildare can be a major force in 2019, even without Daniel Flynn, though he conceded they need to work on their mental strength.

Attacker Flynn, an All-Star nominee in both 2017 and 2018, has taken a year out to study and travel and is a high-profile absentee from Cian O’Neill’s 39-man panel for the new season.
