Galvin Unlikely To Play Any Part In Cork Game

EAMONN FITZMAURICE has hinted that Paul Galvin is unlikely to play any part in Kerry’s Munster SFC final against Cork in Killarney this Sunday.

Since sensationally coming out of retirement in March, the former player of the year has still yet to make an appearance for Kerry.

“He is fit,” said Eamonn Fitzmaurice speaking to the Irish Times. “He’s back training now. Whether the Cork game will come too soon, probably will. But he’s in great shape, it’s just a matter of getting that football sharpness back into him and the longer we stay in the championship the more of a factor he’ll become,” said Fitzmaurice.

So far the only glimpse of Galvin we’ve seen this year was his selection as one of the subs in Kerry’s final match of this year’s National League against Tyrone, but Fitzmaurice feels, Galvin, still has more to give in the green and gold.

“When his football sharpness is where it needs to be and he is able to play well in our football games in training, he’ll be ready to go,” Fitzmaurice said.
