St Mary’s advance to semi-final after thrilling second half turnaround

Down by six at half-time, the Kerry side looked all but out of it, unable to deal with the influence of Upperchurch-Drombane midfielder Paul Shanahan and the fluency of Andy Kinane, Colm Stapleton and Pat Shortt up front.
But the motivational words of manager Maurice Fitzgerald and his lieutenants worked a treat as they proceeded to outscore the Tipp champions by 2-7 to 0-2 in the second half.
