Reshuffle will strengthen Kerry’s hand, says Flaherty

SO what is the mood in Kerry after Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final draw with Cork? Was it a bad day at the office or signs the tide is changing in the Rebels’ favour?

The answer is somewhere in the middle according to former All-Ireland winning defender Liam O’Flaherty who believes that much of the blame for Kerry’s flat performance in Killarney rests with Jack O’Connor and his management team.

The 1997 All-Ireland winner said: “Cork’s turn is coming slowly but surely. We were very lucky to get a draw in Killarney given the way the team was selected. I expect Kerry to give a much better account of themselves tomorrow but I think the momentum is with Cork down in Pairc Uí Chaoimh.”
