Kerry will take stopping, reckons ‘hurting’ Healy

Peadar Healy regretted Cork’s inability to convert goal opportunities and bemoaned second-half injuries and yet couldn’t but marvel at Kerry’s strengths.

His side’s failure to find the net was evident during their Division 2 campaign when 19 chances went astray and that shortcoming raised its ugly head again yesterday.

“We’re hurting. That’s understandable. No excuses, Kerry well deserved their win. There’s no doubt about that. They started well in the first half, they started well in the second half. If we took the positives out of it, we created goal chances but we didn’t take them again. If you don’t take goal chances against Kerry you’re in trouble.
