Kerry girls make no mistake in enforced replay

Kerry 7-5 Tipperary 3-9: Kerry U14 ladies football manager John Doona raced over to the main stand at the final whistle and said to the Kingdom supporters, “that’s for ye, that’s for ye”.

It had been a long and testing month for all involved with the Kerry U14s and so to come out on the right side of yesterday evening’s replayed Munster U14 ladies football semi-final quite clearly meant a lot.

Tipperary and Kerry first met in the semi-final on March 31 at Bansha, the Kingdom emerging victorious on a scoreline of 6-3 to 3-11. However, it emerged in the aftermath that one of the Kerry players, who had been yellow-carded and sin-binned in the second-half, returned to the play before the 10-minute sin bin period had elapsed.
