Plenty work still to be done, says Kerry U21 keeper Shane Ryan

Of all the plaudits coming in Kerry’s direction following Wednesday’s Munster U21 coronation, the most striking came from an individual who wasn’t within 160 kilometres of Páirc Uí Rinn.

Just as Kerry were swatting off the Cork challenge with consummate ease, so too were Dessie Farrell’s Dublin in a relatively one-sided Leinster U21 final at Portlaoise.

The Dubs are due to play the Ulster champions in the All-Ireland semi-final, but that didn’t stop Farrell describing Kerry as an “amazing side” when contemplating the remaining runners and riders for All-Ireland glory.
