Making most of ‘stepping stone’ to senior success

Kerry junior football manager Jimmy Keane cannot fathom why so many counties do not bother fielding a junior team, believing the competition to be of even greater value since the U21 grade was lowered to U20.

Cork and Kerry will this evening contest the Munster JFC final at Páirc Uí Rinn (7pm), in what will be both counties’ first competitive game of the summer given Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford no longer enter a team in the provincial junior championship.
