Rathmore make strong statement

Rathmore 2-15 Dr Crokes 1-13: A third victory for Rathmore over Dr Crokes in the last two years, but without question the most significant as they ended the Killarney side’s Kerry SFC aspirations for 2015 yesterday in Killarney. They also qualified for the semi- finals of the SFC for the first time in the club’s history.

Rathmore make strong statement

It means Crokes cannot represent Kerry in the provincial club series this year, with Rathmore, Legion, and Club champions Dingle the only sides that can do so at this point.

Two opportunistic first-half goals for Rathmore were the key to their success as they punished some very poor Crokes defending on the day. The first goal came in the 7th minute as Rathmore full- forward John Moynihan took advantage of a defensive mix-up between Crokes midfielder Ambrose O’Donovan and goalkeeper Alan Kelly to palm the ball into the net for a 1-2 to 0-1 lead.
