Monaghan seal first win over Kerry in 27 years

Monaghan 1-11 Kerry 0-10

MONAGHAN defeated Kerry for the first time – in either league or championship - in 27 years in Division One of the Allianz Football League at Austin Stack Park, Tralee this afternoon.

Clones, 1988, in a National Football League game was the last time the Farney County lowered the Kingdom colours. Monaghan also overcame Kerry in Killarney in 1987, and, in front of 6,133 spectators today, Malachy O’Rourke’s 2015 charges produced a superb second half performance overturning a three point deficit to win a hugely enjoyable encounter by four.
