Kerry captaincy: Peter Keane gets call on replacement skipper

The Kerry senior football champions no longer have a say in who captains the county in the event of the player they nominated failing to make the team on match-day.

Delegates were informed at Monday’s board meeting that if the footballer nominated by the county championship-winning club or division is omitted from the starting 15 for a league or championship fixture, then the decision as to who captains Kerry for that particular game is made by management.
