Solid St Kieran’s always in control

THERE was never any doubting the outcome of this AIB Kerry SFC opener in Currow yesterday once St Kieran’s recovered from a shaky period at the start of the second half and put up the scores which eased them into a controlling position.

And, with full-back Padraig Reidy excelling in defence, their victory was guaranteed long before the final whistle.

Played in mixed weather conditions but on a good surface, the game never really came to life. It was mainly a case of both sides struggling through the course of the first half to establish a decent advantage.
