Blarney raise game to see off Tracton

Blarney 1-16 Tracton 0-15

Trailing 0-10 to 0-8 at half-time – it was 0-9 to 0-4 at one stage – Blarney got a boost through Peter O’Driscoll’s goal at the outset of the second half and never trailed thereafter.

Tracton scored the game’s first four points, shared by Ronan Walsh and Shane Brick, and were far better for almost all the opening period. Kerry star Brick was in excellent form and, but for some avoidable wides, they would have been further in front.
