Tadgh Kennelly, the Irish International Rules and Kerry player, was at the centre of an injury scare in Saturday night's intermediate football championship semi-final at the Austin Stack Park, Tralee.
Kennelly, assisting Listowel Emmet's against Milltown/Castlemaine, was taken off after falling awkwardly in a tussle for possession.
Kennelly was taken to Tralee General Hospital as a precaution. It was confirmed yesterday he had damaged ankle ligaments and it is not yet clear if he will be available for the International Rules series.
In the end, Emmet's just about deserved their 0-13 to 1-9 victory, and their final date with Dingle.
Meanwhile, in the quarter-finals of the senior football championship, holders An Ghaeltacht just hung on to beat a Maurice Fitzgerald-inspired South Kerry side 0-11 to 0-10 in Killorglin. Fitzgerald kicked eight of his side's total.
Kerins O'Rahilly's, thanks to a eight-point haul from Kerry panellist Declan Quill, defeated Rathmore 0-12 to 0-10 despite Kerry goalkeeper Decan O'Keeffe scoring a 70 metre free.
Dr Crokes defeated Laune Rangers 0-14 to 0-12 with man of the match Colm Cooper scoring five points from play. The draw for the semi-final was made yesterday: An Ghaeltacht v Kilcummin or Feale Rangers; Dr Crokes v Kerins O'Rahillys.
