Patchy day for Kerry stars as Munster bite the dust

Ulster 3-17 Munster 1-15: Kerry men have been leaving Dublin empty handed for quite a while now and Kingdom duo Aidan O’Mahony and Tommy Walsh experienced more of the same yesterday. Defeat while on interprovincial duty at a near empty Parnell Park won’t of course sting like a loss at nearby Croke Park to the Dubs in August or September.

Still, neither player, particularly O’Mahony, will reflect too fondly on an afternoon in front of around 100 — including GAA President Aogan O Fearghail — at the north-Dublin venue.

O’Mahony, the only Kerry player from this year’s Championship panel in the Munster setup, captained the team but was black carded after just 27 minutes.
