The Kerryman (North Kerry)

THE GAME IN 60 SECONDS

-

MAIN MAN

Mikey Boyledidal­ot with very little. Shane Conwaywas again centraltoa most of what Kerry did positively – and showed a real desire to create and force home the Kingdom’s second goal – but we’re going to give the nod to Jason Diggins on this occasion. He did a lot of very good work throughout the match.

KEY MOMENT

It has to be the mistake Martin Stackpoole made for Westmeath’s fourth goal. It was just a killer at a stage in the match when Kerry were still well in it. Kerry rallied well from it, but it put them in a really invidious position.

TALKING POINT

The mistakes were a big talking point. There wasn’t that much of a crowd in Austin Stack Park, but the new shed end – despite having only about three or four patrons in it at most – looked really well. It’ll probably be packed out with Dubs for the footballer­s’ game next Saturday evening.
