Three in a row already on the cards

The new season is only weeks old and already the Kingdom look to be the team to beat, once again!
With a couple of retirements in defence, Dara O Se on the way back and the Gooch taking a break, Declan O'Sullian recovering from injury, Eoin Brosnan on the bench, nothing seems to be too difficult for Pat O'Shea's side.
True Derry pushed the Kingdom all the way and played the whole of the second half against the breeze with only 14 menand yet lost by only a point.
But Kerry always looked like the more fluid team especially after a bright start by the Oak Leaf men.
Ciaran Donaghy looks better with every outing. He is a great out for some route one passing when Kerry find it difficult to work the ball through blanket defences.
Donaghy is clever and brave and is a good all-round footballer and no full back will enjoy marking him.
The O Se brothers, Marc and Tomas are exceptional defenders and launch attackafter attack with their athleticism.
The only points dropped by the Kingdom were at the hands of a last minute goal by Donegal.
It is hard to see who is going to stop them taking three in a row with only a full-strength Tyrone or the energetic Dubs up to the task.
Galway, Mayo, Derry, Meath and maybe Donegal or Monaghan will be there or thereabouts in the latter stages of the All Ireland but none of them will beat the Kingdom unless they have a rare bad day.
