Colleges strike a blow for Kerry hurling

A momentous triumph for Kerry hurling yesterday, as Kerry Colleges tasted a first win in the Dr Harty Cup in Bishopstown with a thoroughly deserved victory over Waterford Colleges.

Kerry Colleges adapted better to the terrible conditions, their wholehearted endeavour and the economy of ball distribution, proving the vital ingredients for victory.

Backed by a gale in the first-half, it was imperative for Kerry Colleges to get a an early grip. However, their hopes of achieving that were stifled by Waterford Colleges tactics as they withdrew attacker Luke Egan and outstanding midfielder Tom Curran to alleviate the pressure on their defence.
