Mark O'Connor has been cleared to line out for Dingle in this Sunday's Munster Club SFC final against St Finbarr's at Semple Stadium. O'Connor has been training with the Kerry champions and they are not expecting any last-minute hitches from his AFL club Geelong.

“Hopefully he is available," said Dingle coach Aidan O'Shea, son of Kerry legend Jack O'Shea.
