Kerry four-in-a-row still on track after comeback earns draw with Cork

Cork 0-9 Kerry 0-9

Cork looked to have dethroned the champions and denied them their fourth title in a row after John Halbert’s 53rd-minute point gave his side a 0-9 to 0-5 lead. However, they failed to score for the remaining 10 minutes (three were added for injuries) and Kerry finished strongly to earn a replay, possibly in Cork, next Thursday.

Defensively, both teams were very strong and, while both goalmouths had lucky escapes, neither keeper was really tested.
