If there were indications in the previous two games that Kerry were capable of securing points, but didn't take advantage of their dominance at various periods of both matches, then last Friday was the culmination of that gradual improvement, being fully deserving of the point secured in the Midlands. Kavanagh and Dolia are still a week away from returning to the squad, according to the Monday press conference, but other than that, Conor McCarthy has a full squad from which to select. Cobh have naturally improved substantially from their last visit to Mounthawk Park in February, battling from 3-1 down to secure a point at home to Athlone, followed by a noteworthy victory in Ballybofey, but while such feats mean the Rams certainly shouldn't be underestimated, there's no reason why we shouldn't be capable or hopeful of repeating that MSC victory on Friday night.
