Clinical Crokes march on

The Killarney club found themselves faced with a defensive East Kerry outfit, a tactic that served the divisional side well for most of the first-half, but ultimately limited their attacking options.
Of concern to the winners was a serious injury sustained by Fionn Fitzgerald in the 30th minute. The corner back was concussed following a challenge by Damien Dennehy which necessitated his removal from the pitch by stretcher and resulted in a booking for the East Kerry substitute.
