Kingdom's Star shining bright

IT was a gray, rain soaked day, not that Kieran Donaghy cared. He was back playing for Kerry. It may have been Longford, it may well have been a first round qualifier, but it was championship, he had Colm Cooper alongside him and the Kingdom were purring.

O'Connor: Mike Mac return unlikely

KERRY boss Jack O'Connor has confirmed that Mike McCarthy is "unlikely" to return to the Kerry panel for this year's league or championship. O'Connor did leave the door ajar, however, to the possibility of a return by the Kilcummin man later in the season. "You never say never with Mike," he said. "He wasn't coming back last year either, but we managed to convince him in the end. It's unlikey at this stage, because Mike has other commitments outside of football and they're important as well."
