Fitzmaurice happy with Kerry's start in league

Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice was delighted to pick up two Allianz Football League points away in Derry and believes his team are are right on track for the time of the year.

The All-Ireland champions opened their league account with a home defeat to Mayo but Paul Geaney's goal helped them to a 1-17 to 0-13 win in Celtic Park yesterday.

Speaking after the game, and at the start of a three-week break in the league, Fitzmaurice told RTÉ Sport: "We, the management, felt at the start that if we got two points out of the first two games, we'd be very happy and do a couple of good weeks' work then.

"It's great to win a game. It's a very competitive league and any game you win, any two points you get on the board, is valuable, particularly away from home.

"From our point of view we could do with the three-week gap. You enjoy having the games week in, week out but we have a bit of work to do in the next three weeks."

On Geaney's goal, Fitzmaurice said: "I think we were ahead and Derry were finding it hard to get back level with us and maybe get the crowd involved in the game and the goal probably meant that there was a gap that was too big to bridge, particularly when they were down to 14 men at that stage as well."

After the break, the Kingdom host league champions Dublin and the Lixnaw man said he was looking forward to an "interesting" tie.
