Kerry have long way to go

KERRY’S success in Croke Park on Sunday will not have the effect of putting them under additional pressure going into the championship, according to former star and current selector Johnny Culloty.

He said yesterday that the manner of their victory, when they almost lost an eight points lead nearing the finish, indicated that they still have a lot of work to do.

"Look at the way we won, it was a struggle in the finish to hold on. There are at least six teams who will be there or thereabouts in the championship. And, the other teams are learning too. The next game for us is in Clare in three weeks time and we won't be looking beyond that," he commented.
