How far can this Kerry side go?

It looks like Laois are on the way to Division 2 wit only one point from five games after Kerry beat them by four points in Portlaoise.
Once again Bryan Sheehan did the damage for Kerry weighing in with ten points from play and frees.
Sheehan’s form this season provides a real headache for Kerry manager Pat O’Shea who still has Colm Cooper to come back into his attack.
It’s the sort of problem any manager would love to have with Ciaran Donaghy, Cooper, the two O’Sullivans and Eoin Brosnan all at his disposal with players like Paul Galvin and Mike Frank Russell available to the Kerry boss.
I thought that this Kerry bought a couple of cheap All-Irelands in 2004 and 2006 against Mayo.
However, they have become a better side over the last two years.
They have a better panel and more strength in depth and while they have not frightened anyone the way the great Kerry team of the late ‘70s and ‘80s did they are now on the verge of another three in row and who knows what they could do from there.
