After recording the biggest win in the club’s history on Friday night, there is no time to celebrate for the Kingdom as the Bank Holiday Monday ushers in another game with the Kingdom making the short trip to neighbours Treaty United in the Markets Field tomorrow evening.
4 goals scored and none conceded was the perfect response from the Kerry players to a tough run of form in the league. Robbie Cleary impressed with a goal and two assists, while Ronan Teahan scored his first-ever League of Ireland goal for the Kingdom. New goalkeeper Matt Connor earned a clean sheet on his first time of asking for Kerry, which was well received by the Kerry faithful. Ewan Lee also impressed in his first-ever game at this level, having signed from Munster Senior League side UCC.
Treaty United, meanwhile, suffered a very late defeat at the hands of Bray Wanderers in the Carlisle Grounds. The Limerick side were successful in their appeal of Steven Healy’s dubious red card, the former Kerry player available for selection tomorrow night.
Kerry won the last meeting of the sides, Chris McQueen scoring the only goal of the game in Mounthawk Park back in May. But Kerry’s form in the Markets Field hasn’t been great, Kerry only leaving the Treaty county with a single point on 5 attempts, so Colin Healy will be hoping for a change come 7 pm on Monday evening.
