Kerry v Chirk AAA - Ardal North East League - Saturday, 2.30pm

KERRY host league leaders Chirk AAA on Saturday with the Lambs going into the game as massive underdogs.

However an unlikely win at Dolgellau AA last week has raised morale in the camp.

A club spokesman said: "It is going to be an extremely tough game against a team fighting for the league but recent form has improved so hopefully we can put up a fight and nick something.

"We are missing a few key lads through injury but it's a chance for youngsters to get a run."

Manager Andy Pryde said: "We will look to utilise his full squad in the run in to keep everyone fresh and focused in Chirk's quest for the title."

"With us having to play both of the top two in our last four league games we could have a huge say in the outcome of the league title."

Joe Pierpoint and Sam Nash are injured but the home side hope to add several returning players.
