A formidable task awaits league newcomers Kerry FC tonight (Friday) as they welcome top-of-the-table Galway United to Tralee.



Galway have been on a rampage since the start of the season, winning all nine of their games while scoring 29 goals and conceding just three in the process.



Their biggest victory so far came against Kerry in the reverse fixture when John Caulfield’s side racked up a record-breaking nine goals, with the men from the Kingdom only managing one in reply.



Kerry will need to keep a close eye on Ed McCarthy; the former Treaty player bagged a first-half hat-trick in that 9-1 drubbing.



The match will be shown live on <a href="https://www.loitv.ie/en-int/playerpage/1602712" title="">LOI TV</a>.



Billy Dennehy’s charges are still looking for that elusive first win but they can take heart from last weekend’s narrow 1-0 defeat to second place Waterford. The visitors showed resilience at the Waterford Regional Sports Centre as their hosts created a string of first-half chances, but they were eventually undone by a Ronan Coughlan goal in the 70th minute.



This result means that the Tralee-based club drew one and lost eight of their first round of fixtures. They will be hoping for a better return from the second round, which gets underway tonight against Galway.



Despite the scoreline in the previous encounter, the match is expected to be a sell-out or very close to one.



Kerry’s average attendance in the first round was 1,194 &#8211; the fifth highest average in the division after Waterford (2,238), Galway (2,064), Finn Harps (1,575) and Cobh Ramblers (1,394).



The official capacity at Mounthawk Park is 1,200.
