SLIPPING: Austin Stacks' Shane O'Callaghan loses his footing in pursuit of John Mitchels' Patrick Kearney at Connolly Park on Sunday in rd 2 of Kerry's IFC.

THE oddsmakers had quoted Austin Stacks and Killarney Legion as 2/1 joint favourites to win Kerry's IFC but they were both taken to the limits on Sunday in the second round of games.

Austin Stacks met Tralee rivals John Mitchels and were expected to coast to victory but just about survived, 2-10 to 1-9, and were grateful for Donagh McKivergan's early goal. Mitchels failed to register a second-half score against the breeze. having led 1-9 to 1-4 at the break. Mikey Kelleher got the goal from a penalty that was initially saved.  Kelleher, Alan O’Donoghue and Cian Holden kept Mitchels in front but despite creating chances, they kicked too many wides in the second half.
