"A lot of people weren't happy at the way Kerry exited the championship last year against Mayo, so we need to blood some of these youngsters now," said Ó Sé. "We have to be patient. Eamonn Fitzmaurice has to be patient, even the likes of David Clifford has to be patient. "I would also look at the likes of Sean O'Shea, Jason Foley, Shane Murphy in goal and Jack Barry.

"Obviously, as you say, the weather down there may be better and it's a professional game but in my near future I'm just hoping to keep progressing in the Kerry jersey and the Fossa jersey too."
