Triple Decker
Munster champions Kerry eased past the challenge of Roscommon in Fitzgerald Stadium on Saturday last with David Clifford scoring his 35th goal for the Kingdom at senior level. The news on the fitness of his brother Paudie is positive ahead of Kerry’s rematch with Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday week.
Paudie missed the Munster Final due to suspension and he also missed out on the Roscommon game due to a minor muscle injury. Jack O’Connor confirmed on Saturday that Clifford’s injury was not a major concern.
“He’s not too bad, he trained over in Currans this morning. He had a good session. He just has had a muscle injury there for a while, and he’s nearly right, but not 100%. He should be in the frame for the next game; he looks like he’ll train fully this week.”

Kerry FC rueful after missed opportunity
Colin Healy has picked up four points from his first two home games in charge of Kerry FC. There is little doubt, however that the Cork man was a little bit disappointed to see his side not pick up all three points on Friday night.
This was Healy’s first game in the dugout for Kerry FC and he will be very much aware that the battle for points in this division is going to be fierce right up until the final game of the season.
Kerry have now picked up seven points in the last three games and they still are only one point above the relegation zone in eighth place in the division. Healy opted for the 5-3-2 formation again on Friday night with Daniel Okwute operating as the main striker with Sean McGrath playing in the support striker role.
