Star shines as Stacks snatch league crown

DESPITE scoring a spectacular own goal two minutes from the end, Kieran Donaghy inspired Austin Stacks to an extra-time win over Dingle in a fiery Kerry SFL final in Dingle on Saturday.

Dingle will be kicking themselves for not ending their 33-year wait for a county senior title, when they failed to close out the game in normal time, despite having an extra man and a three-point lead as the game drifted into the 60th minute.

The opening half was tight and fiercely competitive as Dingle got off to a great start thanks to Paul Geaney goal in the 12th minute, following an assist from his cousin David, but they failed to build on this fillip, as Stacks thanks to Donaghy’s ball-winning at midfield, kept in touch.
