Kerry were helped enormously by the opposition, good fortune with the goals and above all else by the pitch. There were two long balls played forward from L-R towards the empty end that took very sharp bounces to the left in a manner that you simply won't see on any other pitch. They looked as if there was an additional pass played by a phantom. One went over Kavanagh's head and could perhaps even have wound up a through ball if that disgraceful pitch allowed balls to run. A visit from a big Dublin club had the potential to shine a light somewhat on the standard of facility offered there which was surprisingly allowed into senior football and for which no plans for improvement have been signalled but Bohs' terrible performances will be the story instead.
