Mayo in body only but professional Kerry finish off perfect spring

Five weeks away from Cork, Kerry were always going to be able to attack this game easier than Mayo whose championship opener against Galway falls two weeks earlier.

Allianz FL Division 1 Final: Kerry 3-19 Mayo 0-13 

The annals will record this as the second joint highest winning margin in the history of Division 1 finals. Alongside Dublin’s mauling of Derry in 2014, this 15-point victory of Kerry’s will stand proudly at least on paper.
