Mid Kerry earn draw as South left to rue misses

South Kerry 1-8 Mid Kerry 1-8

However, on the balance of play in the second half, when they gained an important advantage at midfield, they were more than deserving of a draw with South Kerry.

The circumstances in which this was achieved — when they lost possession going forward after Sean Fogarty had scored a lead point following two uncharacteristic missed frees by Brian Sheehan — didn’t please manager Pat McCrohan.
