MATCH PREVIEW: Kerry FC vs Galway United (First Division)

Galway United make their first ever trip to Mounthawk Park to take on Kerry this Friday, kick off is at 7:45pm.

The Tribesmen are looking to make it 10 in a row as they begin their second round of fixtures of the league season. Last time out, United defeated Bray Wanderers 6-0 at Eamonn Deacy Park to go 10 points clear at the top of the division. 

Kerry are coming into this one off the back of a strong showing away from home against second placed Waterford, and a 1-1 draw against Finn Harps in their last home game. 

Before Friday’s game, manager John Caulfield said:

Kerry have turned things around over the last month”

“They have really tightened up and worked hard defensively, and they are very dangerous on the counter-attack”

“We know what a challenge it will be to us, but at the same time we’re on a tremendous run and we want to keep it going”
