"Kerry are no strangers to a fight back as Sean O'Connor updates us at the interval: Kerry FC came back from 3-0 down in their quarter-final triumph over Sligo Rovers and they will have to do the same here to keep their cup dreams alive.It's been a really difficult opening 45 for the men from the Kingdom, with the Hoops flexing their muscles to lead by three at the break."
"Graham Burke's early brace set them on their way, but the forward was incredibly lucky to avoid a staight red card for shoving Joe Adams to the ground on 35 minutes.Michael Noonan added the third on the stroke of half-time, but it remains to be seen if the 17-year-old will be available for November's cup final as it clashes with the U-17 World Cup in Qatar.For now however, the Hoops are 45 minutes away from a first cup final since 2020."
Kerry FC previously recovered from a 3-0 deficit in their quarter-final against Sligo Rovers and must repeat that comeback to stay alive in the cup. The Hoops dominated the opening 45 minutes and led by three at half-time. Graham Burke scored an early brace to set the match's tone but narrowly avoided a straight red card after shoving Joe Adams. Michael Noonan added a goal on the stroke of half-time. Noonan, aged 17, may miss the November cup final because it clashes with the U-17 World Cup in Qatar. The Hoops sit 45 minutes from a first final since 2020.
