Barry John Walsh is working hard to nail down a place in Kerry's starting XV.

The 20-year-old CIT student - younger brother of Tommy and son of Sean - made his championship debut against Cork last year and scored a goal against Dublin in the first round of the league this year.

With places in the Kingdom attack up for grabs following the departures to the AFL of his older brother Tommy and Tadgh Kennelly, BJ will keep his head down and work hard:

"Obviously there are spots to fill in the team. There are a lot of spots available but I think it's up to the guys on the fringes of last year's team to try to step in and fill the spaces.

"In fairness to Jack [O'Connor] and the lads, they'll give everyone an opportunity to have a crack at it.

"It's up to every individual guy that when your chance comes you have to take it and prove your worth.

"I think Jack is going to give everybody a fair chance and, hopefully when my chance comes along, I can take it." Tweet
