Kerry junior football manager Jimmy Keane described the lack of interest in this year’s competition as a “total disaster”.

Newcestown 1-13 St. Finbarr’s 0-14: It was 14 scores each yesterday in Ballygarvan, but in the end, it was Trevor Horgan’s first-half goal for Newcestown that was the difference in the first round of the Cork SHC.

St Mary’s 0-9 Waterville 0-6: Although it was a successful retention of the South Kerry SFC title for St Mary’s (and their 32nd title in total), the durability of Bryan Sheehan was the main talking point after a hard-fought victory over Waterville on the muddy and heavy Portmagee sod on St Stephen’s Day.

Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra 2-12 Coláíste Chríost Rí 0-8: The Munster and All-Ireland champions comfortably defeated on the opening afternoon, and now the scalp taken of Cork’s most successful football nursery.

St Finbarr’s 1-10 Dromtarriffe 1-9: A much improved second-half display was just about enough for St Finbarr’s in yesterday’s competitive Cork County Junior B inter-divisional hurling championship final at Páirc Uí Rinn.

LIMERICK 2-7 CORK 2-15: Little in the way of surprise at the Gaelic Grounds as Cork eased to an eight-point Electric Ireland Munster MFC win over Limerick.

A point in the final minute by centre-back David Griffin salvaged a draw for St Francis College in the Simcox Cup (Cork Schools SFC final) under lights in Carrigaline last night.

THREE days of intensive training under the blue skies of Portugal paid a handsome dividend for Ballymun Kickhams who saw off the challenge of St Finbarr’s in the Division 1 final of the Bus Eireann Féile Peile final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday.

Ballymun Kickhams (Dublin) 3-5 St Michael’s (Cork) 1-2

THREE GOALS in the opening half paved the way for Coachford Community School in a hopelessly one-sided Munster Senior A Vocational Schools football semi-final at Kilmichael yesterday.
