Lesson learned for Kingdom’s Young

Killian Young admits Kerry were more vigilant in the closing stages of Saturday’s victory over Dublin after surrendering their lead so late in last year’s All-Ireland final.

Like Jack O’Connor, the half-back acknowledged beating Pat Gilroy’s side in Croke Park was important, given September’s disappointment.

With seven minutes left in normal time on Saturday, Kerry were five points to the good — one better than they were at the same stage five months ago — and they pushed on to widen the margin to six.
