Kerry get off to winning start

Brendan Bolger's reign as London hurling manager got off to a losing start in Tralee this afternoon as Kerry took a 3-10 to 1-13 win in NHL Division 2B.

John Mike Dooley set Kerry on their way with the only goal in a first half that ended with the home side 1-8 to 0-10 in front.

An injury-time goal from Brendan Byrne handed Kildare a 1-10 to 0-11 victory over Mayo in Newbridge in the day's other Division 2B tie.
