The odds Stacked against them

AIB All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final

If it wasn’t for a pair of fine days in February and March 38 years ago, Austin Stacks may consider tomorrow’s venue and opponents as ominous for their chances of victory.

O’Moore Park has been a graveyard for Kerry clubs in recent times. Dr Crokes (2012, ‘14), Dromid Pearses (2012) and Laune Rangers (1997) have all lost All-Ireland semi-finals in Portlaoise. Crokes also went down in an All-Ireland replay there eight years ago.
