The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
How much different will Class of 2018 look in ’19?
THE photograph below is the most recent of a Kerry team to take to a playing field: the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final Round 3 win over Kildare last August.
Of the 26 players togged that day we know that six are no longer part of the new panel being assembled by new manger Peter Keane and his selectors. Donnchadh Walsh was on the panel that day but he, too, has retired, while Ronan Shanahan is another who featured prominently last year but hasn’t been recalled this year.
New names have been invited in to pre-season training – such as Shane Ryan, Mark Ryan, Dara Moynihan, Gavin O’Brien, Diarmuid O’Connor, Tommy Walsh, Tómas Ó Sé, Jonathan Lyne and Jack Sherwood – but here we look at the 26 men who most recently represented Kerry in a senior match and assess who’s in, who’s gone and what those who are still there have to offer.
