Long the driving force as Stacks hold Dingle rally

DARA LONG propelled Austin Stacks to their first Kerry SFC final in nine years with a dream performance at Fitzgerald Stadium yesterday.

Long hit 2-4 over the hour, and his scores proved just enough for Stacks to survive a brave late surge by the men from Dingle.

Dingle were slow in getting their challenge off the ground and were over reliant on cousins Daithí and Paul Geaney who between them produced all but one point of their total.
