Relieved Quillinan knows Kerry minors can and must play better in All-Ireland semi-final
Wayne Quillinan: 'It's just relief to get over the line with this of bunch of players who showed a bit of character there, particularly when [Cavan] got the goal'
Until substitute Liam O'Brien expertly finished off a fast counter-attack with the insurance point five minutes into added time, Kerry minor team manager Wayne Quillinan was in no position to relax, as his side kept their noses in front of Cavan in a pulsating finale.
With a five-point lead reduced to the minimum in this All-Ireland MFC quarter-final, and the Breffni men pushing as hard as they could in an effort to find a late equaliser, the Kingdom's youngsters managed to keep enough clarity in their collective minds to break away and construct the game's last score.

Max Kennedy loses in playoff in bid for breakthrough win
Max Kennedy's bid for a breakthrough win on the hotelplanner Tour came up narrowly short after the 23-year-old Dubliner lost out to England's James Morrison in a playoff at the Blot Play9 tournament at Golf Bluegreen de Pléneuf Val André in Brittany. Kennedy – in his first full season as a professional after graduating from the University of Louisville – shared the 54-holes lead with Morrison and held a one-shot advantage playing the 18th, only to incur a double-bogey six for a 70 to Morrison's bogey as both finished on six-under 274. In the playoff, Morrison – a 40-year-old veteran with two wins on the DP World Tour in his career, including the Spanish Open in 2015 – won with a par on the first hole of sudden death. Kennedy moved 52 places from 72nd up to the 20th in the updated Race to Mallorca season-long rankings, from which the leading 20 players will earn DP World Tour cards for next season. READ MORE 'Max played some great golf and my journey to this point has been very different to his and I know his time will come,' said Morrison, who moved to 19th in the R2M standings in his own bid to secure a full European Tour card again.
