Dr Crokes have suffered a major blow to their Kerry SFC ambitions with the likely loss of star attacker Tony Brosnan for the rest of the season.

Brosnan, who has been shooting the lights out for the Killarney men in the Championship, suffered a punctured lung in training last Friday night and remains hospitalised. He will miss Saturday’s Kerry SFC semi-final against Mid Kerry and looks unlikely to figure for club or county again this season.
