Donegal have ‘moved on’ from battle of Tralee, says Gallagher

Rory Gallagher admits both his Donegal side and Kerry didn’t come out of last year’s Allianz League Division 1 clash overly well, but he doesn’t anticipate a repeat on Sunday.

Last March in Tralee, Donegal’s Leo McLoone and Kerry’s Alan Fitzgerald were red-carded by referee Eddie Kinsella for striking in an unsavoury encounter that Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s team won 1-13 to 1-8.

Both managers were summoned to the referee’s dressing room at half-time in a bid to quell the tensions and in the aftermath both counties were fined €5,000, with Donegal full-back Neil McGee given a one-match ban retrospectively for his part in the incident that led to Fitzgerald’s sending off.
