It was a tough day at John Mitchells Gaa pitch, Tralee on Sunday 6th February in the opening round of the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League for Kerry who felt the full effect of having a club involved in the All-Ireland club series as Kerry manager Ian Brick handed out 8 starting debuts to fill the gaps left with Clanmaurice players rested ahead of their All-Ireland Club semi-final in two weeks’ time.
Antrim fielding ten of their All-Ireland Intermediate winning team from last September were much the sharper team and first half goals by Meave Laverty and Roisin McCormick set the visitors up to a 2-10 to 0-1 half point lead. Amy O’ Sullivan, raising a white flag for Kerry.
In the second period Antrim powered on as the goals arrived strong in the final quarter with the saffron finding the net 4 times in the final ten minutes to put bleak look on the score board.
Kerry will face Tipperary in 2 weeks’ time away.
