INJURY DOUBT: Paddy Lane is a doubt for the Corn Uí Mhuirí Final.

Reigning kingpins Mercy Mounthawk are sweating on the fitness of top scorer and captain Paddy Lane in advance of next weekend’s Munster Colleges SFC (Corn Uí Mhuirí) Final against fellow Kerry school, St Brendan’s Killarney.

The 18-year-old Austin Stacks attacker, who hit 1-11 in last Saturday’s facile semi-final victory over Hamilton HS of Bandon, picked up an ankle injury while training with the Kerry under-20s on Tuesday night, and is currently in a precautionary protective boot.
