14 MONTHS AFTER rupturing his ACL and fracturing his knee playing for Dr Crokes, Colm Cooper made a return to competitive football this afternoon.
The Kerry forward replaced Bryan Sheehan for the final 10 minutes of the Allianz Football League Division One meeting with Tyrone, which ended in a draw, and came through unscathed.
