Kelly back in action with Con

JOHN KELLY returns to competitive rugby this afternoon when he lines out for Cork Constitution in the All-Ireland League Division One tie against Dublin University at College Park (2.30).

The Munster star has struggled to recover from an ankle injury sustained in an Ireland squad session in Dublin on November 8. A fortnight ago he attempted a comeback in a friendly against Sunday’s Well, but now feels the worst is behind him.

“I wasn’t quite sure about my situation a couple of weeks ago. I played for 35 minutes but then felt a bit of pain again, said Kelly.
