Despite Donal McKenny picking up a black card, Harte and Gavin Devlin emptied the bench with the required impact.Įternal substitute Craig Lennon ignited the seven-point turnaround with the first of a five-point scoring run, while Ciarán Downey landed two in that period to seal the win over the Leesiders for the first time since the 1957 All-Ireland final. That left the door ajar for Louth to gain some spirit and fuelled the momentum swing. Ruairí Deane spurned a glorious goal chance before James Califf saved another. Roscommon substitute Donie Smith converted two frees for the visitors as Kerry ended the game with 14 players after Tadhg Morley’s black card but the home side clung on for a crucial win that sees them contemplating a league final rather than relegation.Luke Fahy impressively added his second point in the 51st minute but that would be Cork’s last score. However, Kerry outscored the visitors by two points to one while O’Sullivan was in the sin bin, and further scores from O’Shea (free) and David Clifford put Kerry five ahead, 1-11 to 0-9. Roscommon scored the first three points of the second half, from Daire Cregg and two from Cox, and when Graham O’Sullivan was black-carded in the 45th minute Roscommon had more than reason to hope of winning just their second ever league game on Kerry soil. A David Clifford point sent Kerry to the break 1-7 to 0-5 ahead. Kerry, at that stage, were doing all the best running, passing and shooting, as evidenced by their fourth point started by Gavin White, set up by Donal O’Sullivan and finished off by Brosnan.ĭiarmuid Murtagh converted a Roscommon free, but the attacks from the visitors were too infrequent, as Brosnan and Seán O’Shea (free) extended Kerry’s lead to 1-6 to 0-2 by the 27th minute.īut just as it seemed the hosts were having it all their own way, Roscommon hit them for three unanswered scores from the Murtagh brothers and Cox from an advanced mark to make it 1-6 to 0-5 just after the half-hour mark. The result means that Kerry go to Galway next weekend looking for a win that could put them into the league final, if other results play out in their favour.įor their part, Roscommon have now put three losses in a row to go after their three wins at the start of the campaign, and they might have to beat Donegal next weekend to avoid the relegation trap door. ![]() Kerry came into this game looking for the required response to their defeat in Omagh a fortnight ago, and while they started in emphatic fashion with a David Clifford goal after five minutes, Roscommon made life difficult for the All-Ireland champions right to the end. Kerry’s hopes of a successful league title defence remain on track after they ground out a three-point win over Roscommon in Tralee on Saturday night, a result that puts the Connacht county under pressure to get a result against Donegal in the final round to be sure of retaining their Division One status.
