Peter Keane was keeping his feet firmly on the ground after Kerry's dismantling of Mayo in Killarney.

"Look, we’re reasonably happy. We kicked well today, 1-22, 1-19 against Cork, so we’re quite happy with the kicking. That’s my immediate reaction," the Kingdom boss said after his side's 10-point victory.

"We’re happy enough with where we’re going. It’s game by game. Like I said to ye after the last game, the first game was against Clare and we wanted to go and win that and we did.

"We went out and beat Cork. There was an expectation going into the Cork game that we were going to hammer them altogether, we never had that expectation. Suddenly when we didn’t hammer them after telling ye we wouldn’t hammer them, it was our fault because ye were wrong. 

"We got out of it, it was a tough game and look at what Cork subsequently did. They put up 1-17 yesterday against Dublin, that’s a big score against Dublin."
