Westmeath storm back to beat Kerry

Mikey Boyle’s 13th minute goal helped Kerry to a 1-8 to 0-7 interval lead but thereafter Westmeath took charge with Cormac Boyle, Eoin Price and Niall O’Brien landing the scores to maintain their perfect record in the qualifiers.
Westmeath boss Michael Ryan was unimpressed by their first half showing but thrilled with the turnaround: “I felt our first touch left us down and I felt our shot selection was poor, as you won’t win games hitting the ball towards the corner flag. We talked about it at half-time and felt that if we tidied a few things, were braver, and also work harder we would have a great chance.
