Relegation logjam in Kerry with seven Division 1 teams still sweating

Desmonds already relegated but there are seven other sides who could still get dragged into a play off in final round of games next month

Dr Crokes sit alone on top of Kerry's SFL Division 1 thanks to a comprehensive nine-point win over relegated Castleisland Desmonds (1-16 to 1-7), as Killarney Legion lost to neighbours Spa, 1-10 to 0-9. 

Meanwhile, Gneeveguilla rallied late on to beat Ballymacelligott 3-13 to 2-12 and so give themselves a fighting chance of staying up while draws between Dingle-Kerins O’Rahillys and Rathmore-Milltown Castlemaine ensure there are still two relegation places to be decided in the final round of fixtures on the weekend of July 9. As many as seven teams could still find themselves in at least a play off situation such is the logjam at the bottom with only the top four teams safe.
