Griffin: This is like an All-Ireland quarter-final for Kingdom

Former Kerry hurler John ‘Tweek’ Griffin has likened the county’s crunch Joe McDonagh clash with Laois to an All-Ireland quarter-final.

Having been on the road for their opening two games, the Kingdom will enjoy home comforts for what is a make-or-break fortnight ahead, at the end of which Kerry could just as easily wind up in the Joe McDonagh Cup decider as they could drop to hurling’s third tier.
