‘Sloppy’ Kerry shake off the rust

Kerry 0-17 IT Tralee 0-8

As a mini-monsoon enveloped, the game of football was always going to be the loser. The Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice realised this but still felt their early ballwork was “sloppy”.

“We weren’t particularly happy with the first-half. We were sloppy and made a lot of strange decisions. It took us until five minutes into the second half to really get going.”
