John Moynihan fires Rathmore win

Rathmore 2-8 Kerins O’Rahillys 2-5: John Moynihan’s goal two minutes from time was the gamebreaker as Rathmore edged out Kerins O’Rahillys in a high-intensity Kerry SFC first-round clash at Austin Stack Park on Saturday.

When David Moran converted a penalty for Kerins O’Rahillys to tie the game, the momentum seemed to be with the Tralee side, despite them not having led the game at any stage.

They might have pushed ahead when Jack Savage launched a ball in search of Tommy Walsh but Rathmore keeper Shane Ryan punched clear. Even then, Rahillys felt Walsh was fouled as he sought to gain possession but instead, a free out was awarded.
