Mark O'Connor is set to line out for Dingle in their All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final against Ballyboden St Enda's on January 3. 

It was feared that O’Connor’s return to Australia after his club's dramatic Munster final win over St Finbarr’s would deprive the Kerry champions of his services for the last-four game. The talismanic midfielder had returned to pre-season training with his AFL club Geelong with the season Down Under due to commence in early March.
