Éamonn Fitzmaurice insists the gap between Dublin and Kerry isn’t widening despite this latest defeat being their biggest in his reign.

ÉAMONN Fitzmaurice was referring to Stephen Cluxton’s radar kickouts, but he might have been subconsciously alluding to Kerry’s inexplicable no-show in last year’s All-Ireland final.

Transplant the final Division 1 table to this time next year when semi-finals will be a thing of the past and there would be no equivocation — for the first time in 30 years, Dublin and Kerry would contest a Division 1 final.

Kerry 1-13 Donegal 1-8: He said afterwards the win enabled Kerry to look up towards play-off possibilities rather than look down at relegation threats, but Éamonn Fitzmaurice will look ahead with relish to anything the spring and summer can throw at him after this.

Donegal manager Rory Gallagher expressed his annoyance in the dressing room area to referee Eddie Kinsella over his handling of a fractious first 35 minutes in Tralee yesterday.

The reason Dublin remain undisputed No 1 in football’s spring power rankings? Because at a stage of the season when other squads are in various states of dishevelment, the All-Ireland champions have better numbers through 16-30 than anyone else. And that matters.

Aidan Walsh of St Mary’s makes his league debut as Kerry make seven changes for tomorrow’s Allianz FL Division 1 clash with Down at Páirc Esler in Newry (2pm).

WEST KERRY brushed past a disappointing Kerins O’Rahillys in this one-side Kerry SFC quarter-final at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on Saturday.

TODAY

CORK edged out Kerry by two points to claim their 28th Munster JFC crown in a lacklustre decider played last night in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Before an attendance of 949, Cork’s superiority came to the fore and in truth the scoreboard at the final whistle concealed their dominance, an injury-time goal by Kerry midfielder Andrew Garnett putting a gloss on the scoreboard.

CORK boss Niall Kelleher has made four changes for tonight’s Munster JFC final against Kerry in Páirc Uí Chaoimh at 7.30pm from the team that defeated Waterford at the semi-final stage.
