Resilient Kerry ladies footballers relishing showdown with Cork

Kerry ladies football has a spring in its step again after the frustration of relegation following a league campaign that didn’t bring a single point.

There is a new management team in place under Eddie Sheehy from the Na Gaeil Club in Tralee, the squad is now training at the Centre of Excellence at Currans and got to play their Munster semi-final not in Brosna or Knocknagoshel but Fitzgerald Stadium in front of 16,000 before the men’s game with Clare.

It’s a positive frame of mind ahead of tomorrow’s Munster final meeting with Cork, who are building a new team but retain a sprinkling of the 2016 All-Ireland winning side that completed six-in-a-row and 11 in 12 years still playing.
