First time round in 2004, Jack O Connor started off his league campaign 100km northwest of Newbridge in Longford, where a last-minute goal by the home side sent us packing.

It was similarly dank in a packed St Conleth’s Park yesterday, but Kerry just about held on for a draw and, on reflection, will be quite happy to have a point on the board.
