Roscommon perform shock raid in Kerry

Roscommon 0-14 Kerry 1-10: Killian Young threw his arms to the sky in disgust as his crossfield ball to the unmarked Brian Ó Beaglaoich skidded beyond the young corner-back and out over the sideline. It pretty much summed up Kerry’s afternoon; miserable and mistake-ridden.

Five minutes later and with the clock now reading 67 minutes, the errors continued to stack up — Kerry sub Brendan O’Sullivan cheaply gave away possession when coming out of defence after Roscommon goalkeeper Darren O’Malley’s 45’ had dropped short. O’Sullivan’s handpass was telegraphed and Enda Smith kicked his third point from a tight angle to move the visitors 0-14 to 1-9 clear.

With the finish line fast approaching, Smith’s point provided his Roscommon colleagues with that final ounce of belief to see out the job.
