AN injury-ravaged Dr Crokes are facing a severe test of their current wellbeing as the Kerry SFC begins with a blockbusting first round collision with Austin Stacks in Tralee this evening (7.30pm, live TG4).

Having lost Daithi Casey to a season-ending injury in the build-up to the restart after the Covid-enforced break, Dr Crokes have also suffered two savage blows to their prospects with Kerry players, Gavin White and David Shaw, ruled out of action with hamstring and ankle ligament problems respectively.
