Dubs and Kerry set for early rematch

KERRY are set to return to Croke Park to face All-Ireland conquerors Dublin as early as February.

Jack O’Connor’s side have been provisionally drawn to face the champions for the second successive Allianz Football League Division 1 campaign at GAA headquarters with the game likely going ahead on Saturday February 4.

“We have no issue with it,” said Kerry secretary Peter Twiss. “These things work on a two-year cycle, plus it’s a great game to start the league.”
