Westmeath star Ray Connellan claims Kerry manager Jack O’Connor’s decision to bring on Tony Brosnan and Jack Savage against Tipperary on Wednesday night, hours after they’d played in the Electric Ireland Sigerson Cup, was  “stupid”.

Brosnan top-scored with 1-6 for hosts MTU Kerry during Wednesday afternoon’s Sigerson Cup Round 1 win over UCD in Tralee while Savage added 0-6.
