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.
