Liam Kearns surprised by Kerry’s strategy

Tipperary manager Liam Kearns admitted his team failed to build on their dream start in yesterday’s Munster SFC final in Fitzgerald Stadium.

The Premier County shocked their Kerry hosts when Jimmy Feehan scored inside a minute. But crucially they didn’t score a point from play in the first-half and never led after Paul Murphy’s goal put Kerry 1-4 to 1-3 ahead on 17 minutes.

“We had a good start but we maybe needed to get more than we did,” Kearns said.
