Keane revealed that Jack Barry, Seanie O’Shea and Dara Moynihan were only held back from club duty because of the workload they have had since mid January. Keane says he is happy to have five games won from five, something a Kerry team has not done since 1965, but that was not the plan, according to the manager. “We are reasonably happy to have five games won but ultimately that was not the plan.
