Crokes had all angles covered

The outcome of the 2012 Kerry county final was always going to depend on how champions Dr Crokes approached the game.

Within 10 minutes we had a very clear indication that the Killarney outfit were in no mood to release their grip on the Bishop Moynihan trophy.

By that stage Crokes were 2-4 to 0-2 ahead, the novelty and romance of a first ever county final appearance for Dingle fast becoming a exercise in damage limitation, and despite some honest endeavour from the likes of Breandán Kelliher at the back, Billy O’Connor and the Geaney cousins Mikey and Paul up front, Crokes dictated the tempo from there until the end.
