Kerry SFL: Micheál Burns savouring return to Dr Crokes club duties

Dr Crokes power past Glenflesk, but Kerins O'Rahillys and Dingle are still searching foe their first top flight win of the campaign in the Kingdom

Dr Crokes' Micheal Burns.

Dr Crokes and Laune Rangers remain unbeaten at the top of Kerry's SFL Division One table with five wins from five. While Dr Crokes' resurrecton is hardly surprising, the Killorglin side continue to pull up trees on their return from the second division.

Crokes proved too strong for East Kerry rivals Glenflesk, 2-16 to 2-6, in a game that marred by a serious looking injury to Glenflesk full forward and top scorer Patrick Darcy. Two early points from Micheal Burns and one each from Cian McMahon and Mark O’Shea saw Crokes race 0-4 to no score but Glenflesk got back in the game briefly when Darcy was taken down for the penalty and it was converted. However, Dr Crokes were awarded a penalty of their own in the 18th minute that Daithi Casey netted to give them a 1-11 to 1-2 half time lead. Ex-Kerry forward Micheal Burns s clearly enjoying his return to club duties with 0-6 in the half and it got better when he found the Glenflesk net early in the second half to put Crokes into an unassailable 2-14 to 1-4 lad.
