Foley ready to return for Kerry
Kerry senior football manager Jack O’Connor confirmed that he expected Jason Foley to be in the running to start in the Munster Senior Football Final on Sunday, May 5th.
It was initially feared that Foley would miss a good chunk of the Championship due to an ankle injury sustained against Roscommon but the good news from a Kerry perspective is that the All-Star full back is almost ready to return.
“We’re not too bad (injuries ahead of Munster Final),” O’Connor said after Saturday’s victory over Cork.“Jason is back full running and we just didn’t risk him. He hasn’t really joined up in the football training yet, but in the next two weeks he’ll be pushing to be involved in the Munster Final. Brian Ó Beaglaoich was making a good recovery back from his injury and was back full training, just picked up a bug, lost a bit of weight and we decided not to involve him in this game,” O’Connor confirmed ahead of the repeat Munster Final joust with Clare.

Earlier in the week, a wide-open final saw three co-favourites in the shape of Merits Inclusion, Scooby Pacemaker and Romeo Kingpin, however, on the night it was the latter who was installed at 9-4, with Knockeen Dazzler coming in for some good support at 5-2 next best
Knockeen Dazzler got away to a flyer
Like most finals, the break proved crucial and Knockeen Dazzler, as he has been on so many occasions, was paw-perfect as he bolted from trap six to dispute the early running with Scooby Pacemaker, who was also on the receiving end of his best start to date.
