Masterful Dr Crokes outclass Legion

Dr Crokes 2-18 Killarney Legion 0-7

The writing looked on the wall for Legion as early as the ninth minute when man-of-the-match Jamie Doolan crashed home a fabulous goal to leave Dr Crokes five points (1-3 to 0-1) in front.

That score epitomised everything glorious about the Dr Crokes’ display and especially that of a full-forward line that led Legion’s defence a merry dance for 60 minutes. Doolan hit 1-4, Kieran O’Leary chipped in with 1-5, while the mercurial Colm Cooper, selected at number 14 but fulfilling a wide-ranging conductor’s role, contributed five points.
