However, The Rebels really put it up to the The Kingdom, especially in the first half, and big performances from Steven Sherlock, Sean Powter, and Cathail O'Mahoney saw them go into half time with just a two point deficit.
A big changing point was when the home goalkeeper Micheal Martin, had to come off with an injury, and young Dylan Foley was rushed into an unexpected championship debut.
The young keeper made a terrific save to prevent what looked like a sure-fire goal from David Clifford, but unfortunately he struggled with the kick outs, especially when David Moran came on and dominated the middle.
In the end, The Rebels just ran out of steam, and Kerry won by 12 points, a comfortable lead that didn't tell the full story.

They say imitation is the best form of flattery, so maybe Keano won't would allow himself a chuckle.
