Kerry in it for long haul as away days add up

It was Cork last year. Before they made their way up the M8 for a league semi-final in April, the odometer on the team coach read almost 3,400km for their four away days in the round stages of Division 1.

For diehard supporters in the west of the county, their loyalty would have clocked in around 4,500km.

Now it’s Kerry’s turn. This spring sees them travel to Dublin, Down, Mayo, and Monaghan — “and Dublin is the shortest of them” says Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan.
