Super Donaghy pulls the strings for Stacks

Austin Stacks 1-9 South Kerry 0-7

South Kerry are a much diminished force from the side which dominated the county championship in the last decade and managed only one point in the opening half. By comparison, Austin Stacks, with Kieran Donaghy in eye-catching form, will fancy their chances of progression to the decider.

Though Donaghy managed just one point, he caused chaos on the edge of the square, tormenting marker Stephen O’Sullivan and setting up vital scores for his eager attacking colleagues. When South Kerry attempted a comeback on the restart, the big full-forward shifted to midfield to quell any hopes of a home revolt.
