Kerry All-Ireland winner hoping for league return after injury - but without 'father figure'

WHEN 2022 ALL-IRELAND and Division 1 champions Kerry take to the field for their league opener in Donegal on Sunday, they’ll be without a host of big names.

Gavin White is among the injured contingent, having been out of action since last July’s All-Ireland final success against Galway with a knee setback. “I did a substantial amount of damage to my cartilage,” the Dr Crokes clubman, who turns 26 this week, added. “It was an unusual injury, it didn’t just happen in one go in the Dublin game. It probably came over a period of time.

“Look, I can’t say anything but good things about the man. A real leader on and off the pitch. From a team point of view, he was absolutely extraordinary in everything he did. From the public, he’s obviously known for lording kickouts and so on and so forth, but inside in the dressing room, he was just so much more.
