Manager Jack O’Connor says that Kerry’s one-point home defeat to promoted Derry felt like a ‘bad loss’ – especially with the number of goal-scoring chances the Kingdom missed in the second half in Tralee.

O’Connor will take his side to Clones to face a buoyant Monaghan next Sunday and will mull over a possible involvement for the Clifford brothers as the Kingdom look to avoid back-to-back opening League defeats.
