Eamonn Fitzmaurice says Kerry must counter Dublin’s ability to build momentum

Some call it explosiveness, others say it’s momentum. Whatever it is, Dublin and Kerry have it, though Eamonn Fitzmaurice would have it known that it’s Dublin who possess the lion’s share.

“It’s no coincidence that they often get their second goal soon after their first one,” he said of the threat posed by Dublin. “It’s something we have to protect against and we’ve conceded goals in the championship this year.

“If they get a goal, we have to ensure they don’t get too much momentum from that; similar to the Kilkenny hurlers a few years ago, getting a couple of goals to kill the game in a short space of time. We’ll have to mind it.”
