Russell stars for Rangers as Spa fall short

FORMER Kerry star forward Mike Frank Russell scored 1-4 as Laune Rangers booked their place in the third round of the AIB Kerry SFC at the expense of Spa.

Russell scored a second half penalty as Rangers won a tight game, 1-12 to 1-8, in Killorglin yesterday.

Rangers led 0-8 to 0-5 at the break and always had their noses in front, despite a late penalty from Spa star and Kerry junior footballer Michael O’Donoghue that led to an exciting finale.
