Russell rolls back years to inspire Rangers

FORMER Kerry football star Mike Frank Russell kicked nine points as Laune Rangers booked their place in the third round of the Kerry SFC on Saturday evening.

In a game where only 10 of the 27 scores came from play, Russell finished with 0-9 (0-8 from frees) as Rangers ended Kenmare district’s interest in the championship in what was, in truth, a game that lacked any intensity.

Leading 0-8 to 0-6 at half-time in Killorglin, Rangers embarked on a scoring spree early in the second-half to open up a six-point advantage (0-13 to 0-7), and Kenmare, without main scoring threat Paul O’Connor, were playing catch-up after that.
