Little learned in stroll for Kerry

Kerry U21 boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice urged his team not to get carried away by last night’s 31-point demolition of Waterford in an extremely one-sided Munster football championship semi-final.

After watching his side surge into a 22-point half-time lead before easing off somewhat in the second period, Fitzmaurice also admitted he would have preferred a sterner test ahead of the Munster final against Cork in two weeks’ time.

“Tonight was all about getting the result and having a professional performance. Our lads were well tuned-in and well-focussed. We probably expected a bit more from Waterford but we just got off to a good start, maybe Waterford’s heads then dropped but that can happen,” the Kerry manager said.
