Cork response pleases Kieran Kingston

Cork 1-28 Kerry 0-18: Kieran Kingston was pleased with the second-half response as Cork had 13 points to spare on Kerry in the opening round of the Co-op Superstores Munster SHL at Mallow yesterday.

Having been 1-12 to 0-14 in front at half-time, the Rebels actually fell behind as Kerry’s main scoring threat, Shane Nolan, got two quick points on the resumption.

The Kingdom would only add two more to that tally, however, as the manager’s son Shane Kingston (two) and Mark Coleman produced an immediate Cork response.
