Kerry keep the head down, eyes forward in routine win

Kerry 2-23 Clare 0-17: Apparently Kerry finished with 13 players on the pitch. There was a rash of subs and scores in the dead minutes and someone reckoned an old biplane landed on the pitch at Fitzgerald Stadium and took off again. No, we made that last bit up, but it was hard to keep score when the rusty old Championship goes off and gets all exciting without telling us. You wouldn’t write away for it.

Our attention span had even less chance of surviving the seven minutes of additional time in Killarney when some genius in the press tribune found a radio signal from Thurles.

Cork gone. Cork back. What a comeback. Gone again.
