When Paul Murphy was ruled out of the Munster final against Clare after picking up a hamstring injury in the earlier provincial rout of Tipperary, Kerry manager Jack O’Connor had an interesting selection decision to make.

Many might have automatically assumed that this was the perfect opportunity for Brian Ó Beaglaoich to slot back into his wing-back position, in a virtual like-for-like replacement, after his excellent displays in 2022.
