A serious groin-hip injury in 2013 forced Kieran Donaghy to significantly alter his approach to Gaelic football, writes Eoghan Cormican. Speaking at the Balance Expo in Killarney this afternoon, the Kerry footballer revealed how the injury in 2013 almost forced him to retire. “Around that time, I was out in Castleisland every morning at 6am with Ger Keane trying to get this injury right. "It was around then when I was saying to myself, ‘you’re getting a bit older and yet you’re trying to keep up with these younger fellas’. "If I lived now like I did when I was 23, the year I won my first All-Ireland, I’d be no good to Kerry, I’d be no good to the basketball team either.”
