O’Connor kick-starts Kingdom’s title defence
Kerry paraded seven of Coláiste na Sceilge’s All-Ireland colleges winning side over the hour, and they showed no ill-effects from last Saturday’s exertions. Eanna O’Connor maintained his prolific scoring form with a lethal 1-5 return, Niall O’Shea’s kicking was sharp alongside him in attack while Max Thiemann handled a lot of ball around the middle of the field.
Tipp’s attack struggled to pose a genuine threat as evidenced by a return of 1-1 from play, and that goal arrived deep in injury-time through Johnny McMahon.
