After a five-year hiatus, Milltown/Castlemaine lifted the Michael O’Connor Cup as they defeated Laune Rangers by a single point in this Mid Kerry SFC final in Glenbeigh.

Douglas won by a single point in yesterday’s low-key Cork SFC first round at Páirc Uí Rinn. A repeat of the 2018 tie that went the way of Bishopstown, but this city derby never rose to any great heights and while the winners were the better team, they failed to capitalise with some really bad wides.

Laune Rangers 1-14 West Kerry 0-16 (AET): Laune Rangers, inspired by Mike Frank Russell and captain Shane McSweeney, edged out West Kerry in this epic county championship battle at JP O’Sullivan Park, Killorglin, yesterday.

THE scoreline suggests a tight, gripping clash but that statistic conceals the reality behind yesterday’s Kerry SFC semi-final clash at Austin Stack Park in Tralee.
