Kerry’s elder statesmen need to prove their worth

It was supposed to be a festival of football, a celebration of our game played out amongst the best teams the competition has to offer in one of the finest stadiums in the world.

Unfortunately, that isn’t close to what we got.

From a Kerry perspective, there was no aspect of the weekend more unsatisfactory than the abject performance served up on Sunday afternoon, that saw Galway play only marginally better, but claim a comfortable three point win — their first over the Kingdom in Championship football for 53 years.
