Gooch saves Kerry from Blues

Kerry 0-13 Dublin 0-13

At the same venue yesterday it was the Kingdom’s turn to be lucky when their draw with Dublin, combined with the result from Castlebar, meant they squeezed out the All-Ireland champions by means of a single point in scoring difference.

“Funny the way things go,’’ reflected Kerry manager Jack O’Connor afterwards. While Dublin who forced the draw through Conal Keaney’s injury-time free, Colm Cooper had a significant say in the outcome, contributing one score and setting up another.
