Wasteful West Kerry hold out

WEST KERRY, even without flu victim Marc Ó Sé, advanced to the last 16 of this year’s Garvey’s SFC, with a laboured win over a very depleted St Brendan’s combination at Kennedy Park, Annascaul on Saturday evening.

The first-half was wretched fare with two divisional sides struggling for cohesion and fluency, but in fairness, the second-half was an improvement and despite the five-point winning margin, West Kerry might well have lost this contest.

West Kerry spent most of the half on the attack but 10 wides tells the tale of why the home side only held a slender 0-5 to 0-4 lead at the interval.
