Kerry and Galway played out a hugely dramatic game on Saturday evening, with the Tribesmen coming from 12 points down to earn an unlikely draw in Tralee.

The home side were dominant for much of the game, with David Clifford producing an attacking masterclass in difficult weather conditions. The Fossa man would score 1-6 in the game, with his side leading by double digits with just over 20 minutes to play.

Galway would go on to produce a remarkable comeback, with goals from Johnny Maher and Cian Hernon helping to get them back on level terms late on as the game finished with a scoreline of 2-17 to 3-14.

Joe Brolly Hammers RTÉ Pundits Over Take On Galway Debut

Galway’s resilience in this game was hugely impressive, especially considering the adversity they faced earlier in the game.

Goalkeeper Eamonn McGrath was making his league debut for the county, making a couple of costly errors that led to Kerry goals and struggling overall.

While McGrath will aim to bounce back from that display over the coming weeks, some have questioned how his performance was discussed on the national broadcaster.

Writing in the Irish Independent, criticised the RTÉ duo of Joanne Cantwell and Paul Flynn for their description of McGrath both before and after the game.

“I think it’s interesting,” said Paul Flynn (of McGrath’s inclusion), which was more than could be said for the punditry…

It is not unfair to say it was a disaster for Eamonn, not helped by the way the panel patronised him at half-time and after the game. “An eventful debut” was how it was put.

His kick-out was butchered. He kicked two ’45s wide. He gave a four-foot handpass to the Galway corner-back putting him in dire trouble, leading to the interception that caused the first Kerry goal. He dropped the ball to Clifford for Kerry’s second goal.

Eventful?

Joe Brolly has long criticised the standard of punditry on show at RTÉ at the moment, something that looks unlikely to change any time soon.

As for Galway, they will hope that this result will boost what has been a mixed league campaign up to this point.
