A TWO points victory for Kerry, but, as manager Sean Geaney and team captain Killian Young conceded, the Kingdom were fortunate to stave off a magnificent Tipperary challenge in the Munster U21 FC decider at Ardfinnan on Saturday.

A GOAL of sheer class by Kerry senior footballer Darren O’Sullivan was the decisive score in this Evening Echo county SFC first round replay at Coachford last night. It came in the 46th minute and it gave his side a lead they never relinquished.
