No walk in the park for Kerry

Kerry 2-10, Mayo 1-8

The St Mary’s youngster finished a splendid move to the net after five minutes and then added two quick points, suggesting the Munster champions would win in a canter.

But Mayo, missing a number of regulars through illness or injury, hit back strongly, and inspired by the brilliance of wing-back Kevin Costello, quickly began to halt the Kerry charge.
