Galvin worry for Kerry’s avengers
With Kerry’s shock All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Down last year still fresh in the county’s memory, Jack O’Connor’s men made amends somewhat in sunny Killarney with a victory that, while not enough to book a place in the league final due to Cork’s win over Armagh, ensured Kerry finished their campaign on a high.
Darran O’Sullivan’s early second-half goal allowed Kerry the necessary breathing space in a frantic second half that saw Tom O’Sullivan sent off for a straight red — it means that he will miss the Munster championship opener against Tipperary — as well as a Down comeback that whittled a 1-8 to 0-5 advantage down to 1-11 to 1-10 lead with 15 minutes to go.
