Kerry chairman Tim Murphy has conceded that mistakes were made after it emerged that outgoing panel members were not informed their services wouldn't be required by new senior team manager Peter Keane.

The Irish Independent reports that Kerins O’Rahillys delegate Dan Walsh raised the issue at Monday night’s County Board meeting.

“I am expressing my club's dissatisfaction at the new Kerry senior management in the way that Kerry players (from last year's squad) that were not called in by the Kerry management, were not even notified,” he stated.

“It was remarked upon in a national paper as well last week. Some of the players have been involved with the Kerry senior squad for a long time and not even getting a text or phone call meant that they did not know whether they were in or they were out.”

In response, Murphy said: “I accept what you are saying. I know, heretofore, the senior manager and the management team were the people who were charged with calling in players or not.

"Probably a few things fell through the cracks there all right and I think going forward as heretofore there was never a policy on how that was to be dealt with, but yes I agree with your sentiments that from now on we will put some system in place that will address this issue.”
