James O'Donoghue rolls back the years as Legion claim first Kerry SFL win

Dr Crokes, promoted Laune Rangers and Rathmore make it three wins from three but the latter pair meet in a fortnight so something's got to give,

Legion's James O'Donoghue.

Killarney Legion moved off the bottom of Kerry's SFL Division 1 thanks to a 1-2 cameo from James O’Donoghue and in the process condemned Kerins O’Rahilly’s to a third straight defeat on a 3-11 to 0-10 scoreline. Legion made a whirlwind start when Peter O’Sullivan finished to the O’Rahilly’s net inside thirty seconds. The Tralee side failed to make use of the wind despite some good scores from Barry John Keane and Jake Foley. Two points from Ryan O’Grady and one each from Eoghan O’Sullivan and Finbarr Murphy saw Legion lead 1-4 to 0-6 at half time.

Darragh Lyne had a superb game at midfield for Legion and grabbed a third quarter goal and once James O’Donoghue arrived on the scene ten minutes into the second half, Kerins O’Rahilly’s had not answer to the 2014 footballer of the year who chipped in with 1-2 while Micheal Devlin fired over 0-2 from play.
