Points more important than performance, says Horan

Going into round four with nothing to show for their endeavours would have been difficult but he said: “Kerry had four [defeats in a row] last year. You want to get a couple of points on the board because it impacts on what you do at training the following week or what you need to work on and that kind of stuff.
“It was just about getting two points today. I didn’t care how we did it in a way, to be honest, but we got the two points. We were poor at times, the scores Kerry got in the first half were way too easy. Every time we looked like we were getting momentum we let them back with an easy score. But we kept at it and kept plugging away and the game was still in the balance with 10 minutes to go and we finished very strongly, which is encouraging.”
