UCC beat Kerry and setup Limerick clash

Kerry 2-14 UCC 2-23

Despite a couple of scares along the way, a classier UCC outfit proved too strong for a youthful Kerry side in heavy and poor weather conditions at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on Saturday.

Kerry had only returned to collective training so UCC — just 12 days away from their Fitzgibbon Cup opener — were always going to strip fitter and with superior stick work, by players from elite counties. Kerry, without their five Ardfert players, were never going to cause an upset.
