Kerry coach Peter Keane is recovering from a shoulder dislocation after suffering a fall yesterday while climbing the Carrauntoohil.
It is believed that it took Keane several hours to help him down the mountain before he was taken to the hospital in Tralee.
The 49-year-old, who sustained the injury while descending from Ireland’s highest peak, was released last night.
After Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final overtime loss to Cork that eliminated Kerry from the All-Ireland SFC, it’s been a miserable few days for the St Mary’s man.
Keane had won all four of his previous championship games against Cork, three at the junior level and last year’s Munster final.
Speaking after the game decided by Mark Keane’s goal with the last kick of the game, he described the dramatic loss as “sick” but added: “It happens and it happened to us, so we have to hold on, move on.” and congratulate Cork and wish them all the best for the rest of the year. “
Keane, who has guided Kerry to three consecutive all-Ireland junior titles and claimed Division 1 and provincial honors with the seniors, has one more year of his three-year term remaining.
