Seconds after Danny Miskella’s goal for the Cork U20s in Tralee eight days ago, Kerry won the kick-out and drove up the field where Odhran Ferris kicked an excellent two-pointer.
Goals have always had a valuable currency in the modern game but their value has been reduced with two-pointers, especially frees outside the arc.
Ferris’s effort was an excellent score. The game was long over by that stage, but it was almost Kerry’s way of telling Cork that a green flag was in no way going to add a layer of makeup to another ugly defeat.
The final margin was 10 points but Kerry were probably angry for taking their foot off the gas and not making the deficit as wide as the gulf between the sides appeared.
