Four-goal salvo cracks St Kieran’s and edges Dingle into final
Sixty-one years Dingle had been waiting to reach the final. Sure, they had contributed handsomely to West Kerry victories in the interim but this was so satisfactorily off their own backs.
They bridged that gap with a not- altogether convincing three-point win but one that followed a similar trend to their previous wins over Kilcummin, whom they put five goals past, and Feale Rangers who found Billy O’Connor too hot to handle. In that quarter-final, he bagged a brace of goals and he was among them again yesterday, scoring Dingle’s fourth when a Paul Geaney shot dropped short and the full-forward did enough to deceive St Kieran’s goalkeeper Seán Óg Ó Ciardubháin.
