In the space of the next 7 minutes, Kerry scored 3 unanswered points with Adrian Spillane, Sean O Shea and a David Clifford mark putting some breathing space between the sides.
A free after 14 minutes from McCurry cut the gap before a lovely score from Tom O'Sullivan restored the 3 point advantage after quarter of an hour.

Pauidi Clifford restored the lead before McCurry leveled matters again.
