Kerry’s ‘Fred Flintstone’ season turned to rubble, says Geaney

Experienced Kerry attacker Paul Geaney has admitted that Kerry went from playing ‘flawless’ football against Clare last summer to feeling like ‘Fred Flintstone’ just weeks later. The 2014 All-Ireland winner, who made his league debut in 2011, described last year’s 22-point Munster semi-final annihilation of Clare as the best performance he’s been involved in with Kerry.

They thrashed Cork then to retain the Munster title before slumping to an opening round defeat to Galway in the Super 8s, a result that ultimately cost them an All-Ireland semi-final spot. Kerry open another provincial campaign against Clare on Saturday evening in Ennis and while Geaney is hoping for a repeat of last year’s big win, he’s hoping their form doesn’t dip so violently again afterwards.
