The Kerry ladies will be looking to maintain their 100% record when they welcome Dublin to Austin Stack Park on Saturday evening.

Kerry have managed to win all three of their Division 1 fixtures to date, despite being newcomers to the top tier following last season’s Division 2 final victory over Armagh.

Hard-fought results on the road against Waterford and Mayo were followed by a home win over Donegal a fortnight ago and now Declan Quill and Darragh Long’s side will be eyeing a top two finish and a spot in another final.

The Dubs, winners of four All-Irelands in a row between 2017 and 2020, are currently in third place in Division 1 having have won two of their three games to date. Last weekend they just about saw off the challenge of Cork as two late frees by Carla Rowe secured a narrow one-point win.

Hannah Tyrell, who scored 1-6 from play at Páirc Uí Rinn, will require special attention if Kerry are to make it four from four.

Kerry v Dublin takes place this Saturday at 5.15pm. The match will be broadcast live on TG4.

Elsewhere in Division 1, Meath welcome Mayo to Páirc Tailteann (Saturday at 2pm), Donegal play Waterford in Letterkenny (Sunday at 1pm), and Cork travel to Salthill to take on Galway.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
