East Kerry boss makes case for defence: 'We really emphasised the non-concession of goals'

Manager Jerry O’Sullivan credits tight defence and quickfire 2-4 blast

The East Kerry team celebrate as captain Dan O'Donoghue holds the trophy

After managing East Kerry to a second successive County SFC title at Austin Stack Park on Saturday night, manager Jerry O’Sullivan was understandably a very satisfied man at the final whistle.

Following a tight first half, two blistering goals in the space of three minutes in the early stages of the second half killed off any hopes Mid Kerry had of slaying the defending champions, and O’Sullivan pinpointed that surge from his charges as the pivotal period of the contest.
