Kerry seek to put the minor record straight

GIVEN all their senior success over the last 20 years, it’s hard to believe that Kerry have won only two minor All-Ireland titles in the same period.

They beat Dublin in the 1988 decider, and their last victory was in 1994, when a team that included current senior Mike Frank Russell and captained by Jack Ferriter beat Galway to take the Tomas Markham Cup.

Since that win, Kerry have lost three finals, 1996 losing to Laois, 2004 to Tyrone, and 2005 when Roscommon beat them in a replay.
