Wasteful Stacks survive Gaeltacht test

FIVE points from replacements Graham O’Connell and David T Clifford proved the deciding factors as Austin Stacks defeated An Ghaeltacht 0-13 to 0-8 in yesterday’s poor Kerry SFC third-round clash at Austin Stack Park.

Stacks can thank their lucky stars that Kerry’s Tomas O Sé was absent from the Gaeltacht side or they might have paid dearly for some dreadful shooting, with 14 wides in total.

Stacks can also thank veteran midfielder William Kirby who gave a man-of-the-match display while Darragh O Sé and Kieran Donaghy more or less cancelled each other out.
