Kerry end Allianz Football League on a lowKerry went into this final round of the Allianz Football League holding onto slim hopes of a semi- final place if events elsewhere went their way â and of course they first had to beat Cork in Austin Stack Park. As events transpired, Kerry were left soundly beaten on a day when one of the biggest attendances seen at the venue for some time turned up. Even with the aid of the strong wind in the first half, Kerry were taking on water and with...

Kerry confirm Division 1 status and now chase semi final placeA much improved second half display saw Kerry gather both points on offer in Mullingar on Sunday last where the home-side really took the game to the visitors in the opening half. Kerry thus secured their Division 1 status but two draws elsewhere did Kerry no favours with regard to a possible semi- final place. Despite a bright start after which they led by 4 points to 1 at the end of the first quarter, Kerry conceded the...

Kerry need the two AFL points in MullingarComing off a two week break, Kerry travel to Mullingar to play Westmeath in Round 6 of the Allianz League on Sunday next (3pm) knowing that nothing less than a victory is needed to keep on course for a possible semi final place while at the same time ensuring that they steer further clear of relegation trouble. Realistically, Kerry need to keep winning and hope the teams above them do them some favours over the remaining two rounds....

The sides were very evenly matched throughout the first half but on the turnover, Kerry turned on the power and with James OâDonoghue in devastating goal scoring form, Kerry ran out comfortable victors.Kerry started the game brightly and...

Kerry Still Pointless in Allianz LeagueKerry are still pointless in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League following defeat at the hands of Mayo in the Round 3 game in Castlebar on Sunday last (2-15 to 1-13). Mayo, despite playing against a strong wind, were the ones to force the issue from the start and an early goal gave then a cushion for the remainder of the half. Kerry, on top at midfield, did fight back well but were dealt a sucker punch on the stroke of half time when Mayo...

Kerry Fail to take chances and pay the priceWell Kerry are pointless after the second round of the Allianz League and one would have to concede that Sundayâs game turned out to be a deserved victory (0-16 to 0-14) for visitors Derry at Killarneyâs Fitzgerald Stadium, simply because Derry took the majority of chances that came their way.It had all started so well for the home-side being three points up inside the opening five minutes and indeed there should have been...

Dubs Down KerryKerry will certainly be disappointed with leaving at least a point behind them in Croke Park in the opening round of the Allianz League against Dublin on Saturday night last when they came out the wrong end of a 2-8 to 1-10 scoreline. Still, there were plenty positives for the Kerry Management given some fine displays by some of the newer players in particular. The final third of a game is never a good time to have a score drought and so it proved again on Saturday last...
