Gooch magic bails out Crokes

Dr Crokes 1-10 Laune Rangers 1-10

The special one conjured another masterful goal at Fitzgerald Stadium on Saturday to adorn his already bulging repertoire of magical moments. However, it was the last of his six points that Dr Crokes should be thankful for, earning them the draw no-one wanted beforehand in the AIB Kerry SFC semi-final.

Cooper and his Kerry colleague Eoin Brosnan flew out to Australia yesterday to join up with their International Rules colleagues, ensuring this replay is delayed until November 5th/6th, the weekend pencilled in by the County Board for the final.
