Eamonn Fitzmaurice: There is a gap there but it’s not huge

Éamonn Fitzmaurice insists the gap between Dublin and Kerry isn’t widening despite this latest defeat being their biggest in his reign.

While admitting there is a gulf between the teams, Fitzmaurice dismissed the suggestion the All-Ireland champions are moving further away from them.

“I think we were better today than we were last September but, look, they’re a serious outfit. In fairness to Jim Gavin, he’s a fella that really flies below the radar but he’s obviously brilliant at his job because for him to be able to keep the levels of hunger he has in a group that has been so successful over the last couple of years is remarkable, really. So, I think you have to give Dublin a lot of credit from that point of view.
