The prospect of Séamus Moynihan taking some part in Sunday week's All-Ireland football final looks bright after the Kerry back made his long-awaited return to a full training session last Friday night.
Although it is likely Moynihan will only take a place on the bench for that final against Mayo, he would be regarded as a great option for Jack O'Connor as an impact substitution.
Kerry chairman Séan Walsh confirmed Moynihan's return: "Séamus trained on Friday evening in Killarney and then took part in a game as an extra man without marking anyone.
"He looks on course to take his place on the bench but it will all depend on nothing going wrong between now and Sunday week."
The news on Darragh Ó Sé is far more uncertain with Walsh adding: "As regards Darragh Ó Sé, nothing will be known until very close to the game but it seems highly unlikely that his foot will have cleared up in time."
l Kilmessan captured the Meath senior hurling championship title for the third year in a row after beating Trim by 1-12 to 2-6 in the county final at Páirc Tailteann, Navan, on Saturday evening.
