Strong finish gives St Kieran’s the edge

St Kieran’s 2-13 West Kerry 1-12

West Kerry, who were severely handicapped by the absence of the holidaying Tomás Ó Sé, pushed warm favourites St Kieran’s all the way, and it was only in the final five minutes that the game was decided in St Kieran’s favour.

The opening quarter was all action, with both sides committed to attack, with the West’s Seán Michael Ó Conchúir and Shane Hennessy responding to Edmund Walsh’s opening free.
