Job done against Offaly, but for Kerry manager Fintan O’Connor there is more work to be done in the HL2A campaign.

The Kingdom upset the odds to deservedly defeat Offaly in the league last weekend. This weekend, they have a break, but they return to action on Saturday week when they face Meath in Trim.

O’Connor told the Kerryman that despite their fate being in their own hands, the division is wide open given the quality of teams there.

“I don’t think there’s a huge amount between ourselves and Meath and Offaly,” said O’Connor. “Wicklow lost to Meath by four points away from home in a real thriller of a game by all accounts, so definitely our fate is in our own hands, but we will still have to go up to Meath which is not simple and try and pick up another two points and then go to Wicklow and get another two points.

“Look, it’s nice to win your home games, it’s important and we’ll be looking to beat one of Meath or Wicklow and win our last home game here – you want to win all your home games obviously, but Antrim had a massive win today over Mayo so they’ll be looking to be in a league final themselves no more than Offaly will be trying to put a hole in Antrim when they play as well. It’s an interesting dynamic in it. I think Meath or Wicklow will hurt someone in the league.”
