O’Rahillys snatch dramatic victory
O’Rahillys were the dominant side in the opening half, with David Moran and Mike Quirke lording matters at midfield. They only led 1-5 to 0-7 at the interval but appeared to be in pole position with a slight wind behind them for the second half.
However, South Kerry, inspired by the brilliant Declan O’Sullivan, who had been moved out to the 40, and with big games from Bryan Sheahan and Paul O’Donoghue, took over. When a Sheehan centre was punched to the net by Thomas Curran in the 37 minute, South Kerry looked to have grabbed the initiative.
