It might have turned out to be the most predictable of results from a Kerry perspective in Ennis, but Kingdom boss Jack O’Connor knows that there is huge room for improvement moving forward.
“The home pitch and the home crowd was bound to be worth a few scores to them, and they gave us a right good game. For large periods there, you’d have to say that Clare played very well. Indeed, the Kingdom could have enjoyed an easier day at the office if midfielder Joe O’Connor hadn’t been thwarted by Clare ‘keeper Stephen Ryan as early as the seventh minute.
“Our goal probably came a bit too late. Brian had a brilliant chance straight after half-time. You just felt we were going to need one or two goals, because Kerry were tapping over points,” said Clare manager Mark Fitzgerald. “It’s going to be the same against Cork in two weeks’ time. We have to dust ourselves down and get ready for that,” added the Tralee native, of their All-Ireland SFC opener against the Rebels.
