McKenna pair can keep Kingdom flag flying

THERE are four Kerry- owned speedsters involved in the quarter-finals of the Paddypower.com Irish Derby at Shelbourne Park tomorrow night and there will be plenty of support with the Kingdom’s fans in town for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Meath.

Mike and Vincent McKenna provide half the team with the ante-post favourite College Causeway and the well fancied Droopys Noel.

College Causeway contests the opening heat and has a tricky enough draw in the black jacket with fast starters on either side and Shaneboy Lee on the wide outside. However, the clever tracker remains my fancy for the classic. However, don’t be surprised if Shaneboy Lee re-establishes his strong claims after last week’s slightly sub par run.
