Peter Keane: It’s all about staying alive

Peter Keane knows there is so much more than just a Munster final berth at stake this evening.

There are no second chances on offer for whoever comes up short at Páirc Uí Rinn and so, for one team, the curtain will fall on their championship campaign less than a month after it began. For the winners, there’s the guarantee of football until the August Bank Holiday weekend. By that stage, whoever wins at Páirc Uí Rinn will stand one hour from an All-Ireland semi-final.

For Kerry, there is a near four-year winning streak to protect and a four-in-a-row All-Ireland bid to keep alive.
