Kerry seeking another home success
Kerry FC begin the second half of their league season with a home game against Athlone Town on Friday night. While Kerry’s away form in the league has been abysmal, their recent upsurge in form in front of their own supporters in Mounthawk Park has been encouraging.
Kerry are unbeaten at home in their last four league games with two wins and two draws picking up 8 points. Colin Healy’s men are currently ninth in the First Division table on 16 points just one ahead of last placed Treaty United. Athlone Town are currently in seventh place in the table on 22 points.
Kerry have recorded four league wins over Athlone in 14 games since they joined the league but they lost 1-0 to the Midlanders when they met in Mounthawk Park in the opening half of the season.
