Kerry v Cavan LIVE score updates from All-Ireland preliminary QF clash
Kerry take on Cavan this afternoon in the preliminary quarter-final round of the All-Ireland senior football championship.
Today's game throws in at 3.30pm, and while it isn't on TV, it can be streamed on GAA+.
Kerry find themselves in the play-off round as a result of losing to Meath in their final round robin game. The Kingdom needed just a draw to secure top spot and a place in the last-8, but an unbelievably sloppy performance handed Meath the initiative and they dominated in Navan.
Jack O'Connor's side are back in action today as a result, and that might not be a bad thing as it gives them the chance to get minutes in the legs of the likes of Seanie O'Shea, who returns to the team today.
But anyone writing Cavan off must do so at their own peril. The Ulster side have already taken the scalp of Mayo this Summer, and with all the pressure on Kerry, this is the definition of a free-hit.
