Kerry make capital as Dubs implode

Kerry 1-15 Dublin 1-8

Produced by the combined excellence of Colm Cooper and Dara Ó Cinnéide, its execution highlighted the essential difference between these great rivals in a very disappointing contest.

In varying circumstances, the home side were denied four possible goals in the first half and from the unsatisfactory situation of being on level terms at the break, their play rapidly deteriorated. First, Alan Brogan was unfortunate not to goal within eight minutes of the resumption and shortly afterwards came the goal from Ó Cinnéide.
