O'Sullivan point wins title for Cork
It climaxed in a storming recovery from an excellently-prepared side over the last quarter after Kerry had opened up a four-point gap, but missed a few chances which were to prove crucial.
And, Kerry were even denied the chance of a levelling score when, three and a half-minutes into injury time, team captain Brian Sheehan had his '45 snatched from under the crossbar by midfielder Seamus O'Sullivan. With that, the final whistle sounded and delirious Cork supporters rejoiced in a win which had looked more than possible at half-time but far from certain when Kerry took control in the third quarter.
