Kerry football boss Jack O'Connor is remaining upbeat in the wake of the Kingdom's shock league defeat to Longford.
The game marked O'Connor's first competitive fixture in charge but ended in a narrow defeat that has heaped the early pressure onto him.
But O'Connor said: "Considering that we had to play the last 30 minutes with 14 players, it wasn't a bad result. The players showed a lot of spirit and heart."
