Kerry facing major challenge, admits Meyler

LAST month they were celebrating promotion from NHL Division 3A but today it’s back to basics for the Kerry hurlers as they face Down in the opening round of the Christy Ring Cup in Newry.

And the Kingdom boss admits his side face a major challenge up north today.

He explained: “It is, but the most important thing this year from our point of view was getting promotion to Division Two and we’ve achieved that, we’ll be getting a higher standard of hurling next year.
