New Kerry senior hurling manager John Griffin has confirmed that star player Fionán Mackessy is currently undertaking a strength and conditioning programme with Kilkenny, and is going to explore the possibility of trying to make it onto the Cats’ senior squad.
The 26-year-old, who is working in the Leinster county, transferred clubs from St Brendan’s Ardfert to this year’s All-Ireland runners-up, O’Loughlin Gaels, and has been in stunning form for Brian Hogan’s side in their passage to the county decider.
