KERRY FOOTBALL:IT APPEARS that former Sydney Swan Tadgh Kennelly may make an appearance for Kerry sooner than most people expected as he joined the Kerry squad for training in Killarney yesterday just five days after returning home.

Kerry welcomed Kennelly back and he is now expected to join the squad for rest of the NFL.

Kerry face a difficult trip to Omagh for a repeat of their All-Ireland final meeting with Tyrone and there is now an possibility that Kennelly might make the squad.

While Kerry appear to be well served for midfielders, there is a theory that Kennelly could well be tried out at full back where Kerry have struggled in recent years.

Donnacha Walsh, who picked up a hamstring strain last Sunday in Kerry’s win over Donegal, is expected to be fit for the Omagh trip, but it will come too early for injured duo Kieran Donaghy and Mike Quirke.
