Na Gaeil chairman Tim Lynch has asked the wider Kerry footballing public to be patient with returning Australian Rules export Stefan Okunbor after the former minor and under-20 star made his club comeback in Sunday’s County IFC quarter-final victory over Ballydonoghue.

After spending three seasons with the Geelong Cats, Okunbor arrived back in Tralee a few weeks ago, and lined out from the start for Na Gaeil in their championship clash with the North Kerry side on home soil in Killeen. The versatile performer played for 19 minutes before picking up a hip injury, necessitating his first-half substitution.
