MUNSTER senior club champions Dr Crokes are on course for a sixth East Kerry (O’Donoghue Cup) championship in a row after a terrific second-half performance ended Glenflesk’s hopes of a shock semi-final upset at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney yesterday.

DÁITHÍ CASEY joked that he may need a few bodyguards the next time he ventures down a UCC corridor.

KERRY senior champions Dr Crokes face their toughest examination of the season when they face UCC in a novel Munster club senior football decider at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney.

DR CROKES manager Harry O’Neill has pleaded with Kerry GAA chiefs to give his side a fixtures break after Sunday’s Houdini-act against Aherlow in the Munster Club SFC semi-final in Cashel.

IF ever a final scoreline told a blatant lie, this was it.

HE may have accumulated a stack of honours at intercounty level but yesterday’s Kerry championship success with his club Dr Crokes was up there with the greatest moments in Colm Cooper’s glittering football career.

Louth 1-13 Carlow 1-11

CARLOW have known plenty of false dawns. It was a wonder Éire Óg could dominate the club scene in Leinster, agonisingly close to All-Ireland glory, and yet the county team would fail to function.
