Aidan Campbell free

Mayo 0-2 Kerry 0-3

Mayo shouldn't really be this close

Cosmo Kramer · February 20, 2011, 03:17:16 PM

Doesn't seem to be happening at all for O'Shea today...again. Nothing sticking to him at all it seems.

Level now though.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:19:20 PM

Ronaldson free levels the match at 3 points apiece. Mayo getting more possesison.
The slow start hasn't been rectified yet.

Yeah Cosmo, not happening yet for O'Shea - mind you, doesn't sound like any of the full forward line are making an impression really.
McGarrity seems to be be on the ball more than any other Mayo player.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:21:56 PM

Geaney puts Kerry ahead from Donaghy's knockdown.
Andy Moran with a long range point from play to level it up again.
Mayo seem to be hitting hard - no harm.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:23:52 PM

Mayo take the lead for the first time.

The scorer - Aidan O'Shea!
Hopefully that will kick start things for him. Mayo seem to be on top now.
3 to go to halftime.

Cosmo Kramer · February 20, 2011, 03:24:07 PM

Good man Aidan - point there, if he gets any confidence at all he can do so much for us, its frustrating to see things not going for him.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:30:01 PM

Half-time.
Level at 5 points apiece.
Sounds scrappy enough, O'Shea coming into it more near the end of the half.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:39:08 PM

Just talking to one of the lads who is at the match.
A few things he said:

- Cafferkey is doing very well at CHB and is matching Darren O'Sullivan for pace
- McGarrity doing well, getting on a lot of ball
- Some great balls put in to O'Shea that you would think he should get to easily, but he just doesn't seem to be able to make a burst from a standing position at all.
- Dillon is very quite, has barely been on the ball at all
- Full back line not convincing

Cosmo Kramer · February 20, 2011, 03:49:58 PM

Feeney (Alan) seems to be getting a handle on Donaghy, Cunniffe keeping Gooch relatively quiet, sounds encouraging so far.

Mayo back in front.

Tubberman · February 20, 2011, 03:51:35 PM

Free for Kerry by Geaney after A Feeney was judged to have fouled Donaghy.

Mayo 0-6 Kerry 0-6

Neil Douglas on for Mark Ronaldson

Cosmo Kramer · February 20, 2011, 03:52:30 PM

Another early shower for Ronaldson, still some questions over whether he can step up to top level league and championship football.

Douglas on, sides level.
