An Ghaeltacht have too much power and class for Rathmore

“TOO powerful” — that was the apt summation of Rathmore coach John Fintan Daly after watching his charges play second fiddle to a quick-moving An Ghaeltacht outfit in the first round of the AIB Kerry SFC on Saturday.

There were times when Gaeltacht threatened to steamroll through this opening-round clash and, had they been more focused with the final pass in the opening half, they might well have done so.

But some astute changes in the second half put more pep into Rathmore’s play and suddenly An Ghaeltacht found themselves in a match, although, it has to be stressed, one they were never going to lose.
