Donaghy plays down talk of strife in Kerry squad

Kieran Donaghy hit back today at claims of continuing unrest in the Kerry camp.

Kieran Donaghy hit back today at claims of continuing unrest in the Kerry camp.

Reports of problems have circulated since Colm Cooper and Tomas O’Sé were dropped for last week's win against Antrim, although both featured as subs.

The pair will now start in the upcoming Bank Holiday Monday All-Ireland Quarter Final clash with Dublin, although Donaghy is out with a foot injury.

The attacker maintained too much had been made of disciplinary problems in the media.

“The majority don't know really what they're talking about,” Donaghy said.

“The fellas inside know what the deal is and we know how hard we worked - we know how together we are.

“A few fellas made a mistake a few weeks ago. It was dealt with they took it on the chin. They came on the last day and played well the both of them, and it's kind of bonded us even more.”
