KERRY collected their first piece of silverware this year after a comprehensive win over Cork in Killarney yesterday but that’s as easy as they’ll get it this season.

Their 2-17 to 0-11 victory in the McGrath Cup showed the Rebels have a lot to do if they want to wrestle the Munster title away from their neighbours, but then again it’s hard to read anything into what goes on in January.

Goals from Tom O’Sullivan and Paul Geaney helped ensure the game was more or less done by half-time with Kerry 2-9 to 0-5 ahead and Cork didn’t put up much of a fight in the second half.

There was a cameo from David Clifford too who came on and slotted over two lovely points to cap off a good afternoon for the Kingdom.

Will they have it as easy come the Munster SFC semi-final in the summer? Scroll down for photos…
