Former Austin Stacks star Ger O’Keeffe has urged the newly crowned Kerry kingpins to keep their foot on the throat of the opposition, when in control of games, during the Munster club championship campaign, which begins against Newcastle West in a fortnight.

Despite being thrilled with Sunday’s three-point victory over Tralee rivals Kerins O’Rahillys, which clinched a record-equalling 13th county title for the Rockies, O’Keeffe believes that, to progress and be successful in the provincial competition and beyond, improvement will be required.
