Kerry didn’t raise any green flag here but they worked their way through the gears to get the job done, being efficient when they had to be.

Armagh and Donegal looking to be almost perfect, Kilkenny's rare league opportunity against Limerick and Clare's new wave hoping to surf back up to Division Two.

Shane Kingston and Jack O'Connor’s speed is a neat metaphor for the lightning pace in the Cork squad because no team in the county is loaded with as many elite sprinting machines
