Counties covering every detail as Kerry face 2,800km of League mileage

Kerry flew to Dublin last Saturday week for the opening round of the League when, ordinarily for a big game in the capital, they would travel on the eve of the fixture.

‘Where in Tralee did ye stay last night?’, we asked a member of Galway management before their Allianz League Division 1 game in Kerry last Saturday.

‘We didn’t. We left Loughgeorge (GAA Training Centre) at half nine this morning. Stopped for a leg stretch on the way down and were in our (Meadowlands) Hotel by lunchtime.’
