Kerry attacker Paul Geaney says he is "ready to go" for this weekend's national football league opener against Mayo.
Competition for places in the Kingdom starting XV will be intense this year due to the returns of Colm Cooper and Tommy Walsh, but 2014 All-Ireland winner Geaney is hoping to hold onto his place in the team:
"Hopefully ready to go this time," says the imposing attacker, who will feature for holders UCC against CIT this afternoon.
"I've had a bit of bad luck in the league against Mayo, as I think I was listed to start in 2011, too, and that didn't happen either.
"The league has kind of rocked the boat a small bit in recent years, because we thought we were training well. And when we weren't getting the results it kind of put a downer on it," he continues in The Irish Times.
"Hopefully this year, we've got a better run of fixtures because we have more home games and we've Cork away, which is only just down the road as well. I think it might suit us a bit better."
