Gavin Crowley is the first Kerry player to be tried in the centre-back position vacated by his namesake Peter during the off-season.

Peter Crowley’s retirement means Kerry football manager Peter Keane is on the lookout for a new number six for the 2021 season, with Tempelnoe’s Gavin selected in the role for tomorrow’s Allianz League Division 1 opener at home to Galway.
