Cork City stretched to the limit

Kerry D.L.0 Cork City2

Kerry with five players still eligible for youths football in their team, performed with admirable determination and impressive team work to stretch Cork fully in an historic first competitive game at senior level in Kerry.

The measure of their achievement against an experienced Cork side was reflected in the fact that Kerry did not concede the second goal until they had been reduced to ten men. Their centre back Shane Guthrie was sent off for a late tackle on Cork centre forward, Colin P O’Brien three minutes before the goal.
