McGearailt goal steers Gaeltacht through to first final

BECOMING the sixth team from Kerry to qualify for the AIB All-Ireland club final and the first-ever native-speaking combination, represents a monumental achievement for An Ghaeltacht.

An Ghaeltacht 1-9 St Brigid's 2-3

A powerful second-half display made it all possible for them in Semple Stadium yesterday, with a 42nd-minute goal from Riobáird MacGearailt proving the most decisive score of the game. Coming just a minute after St Brigid's had scored their second goal, it inspired the west Kerry side to surge forward and confidently take control.
