This was an impressive a team performance from the Strand Road side, who dominated in every sector from the very outset, and only for gifting East Kerry two goals early in the second half, the margin of victory would have been more emphatic.

O’Rahillys had a number of outstanding performers with former Kerry minor star Cormac Coffey, at wing forward causing havoc, as he shredded the East defence, scoring 1-3. Kerry U21 star Jack Savage chipped in with seven frees and corner forward Ronan Quill kicked 0-3 from play and set up Diarmuid O’Sullivan, for O’Rahilly’s crucial second goal, in the 45th minute, after East Kerry closed to within two points.
