Kerry won’t panic amid relegation threat, says Eamonn Fitzmaurice

“We’ve been in this situation before, we are not going to panic,” reasoned Eamonn Fitzmaurice in the wake of Sunday’s one-point defeat at home to Roscommon.

Following on from the previous weekend’s failed outing at Croke Park, Kerry are now pointless from their opening two games and find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Division 1 table alongside Mayo and Down.

Unchartered territory this is not, however. As Fitzmaurice pointed out during his post-match debrief at Fitzgerald Stadium, they’ve been here before, not just once but twice in the previous three years.
