Hot-shot Cox calls tune for Rangers

Feale Rangers 0-19 Mid Kerry 1-15 (aet)

Mid Kerry, with county men Darran O’Sullivan and Donnchadh Walsh and former Kerry star Sean O’Sullivan in their starting line-up, were expected to win this tie, but the scoring threat of Kerry U21 star Conor Cox proved decisive. Cox finished with 10 points, eight of which came from frees, and his accuracy from placed balls which included some delightful efforts from long range drew warm rounds of applause from both sets of supporters.

Mid Kerry will be disappointed by this setback and will now face a potentially difficult losers’ round against Legion next weekend.
