Dr Crokes in devastating form even without Colm Cooper
The Killarney giants could even afford the luxury of leaving Colm Cooper on the bench as they raced 1-10 to 0-5 clear by half time, with Tony Brosnan scoring the goal. Kilcummin had led 0-5 to 0-4 at the end of the opening quarter with Shane McSweeney to the fore, but in the second-half, Crokes ran riot with Daithi Casey running the show. Kerry U21 player Tony Brosnan hit 3-2 while Casey converted penalty in an awesome display by Pat O’Shea’s men.
Rathmore and Dingle served up a serious battle in Rathbeg. Rathmore led 1-5 to 1-3 at the interval, John Moynihan scoring their goal before Paul Geaney netted for Dingle. Paul Geaney looked sharp as he scored Dingle’s goal in the 13th minute but Rathmore led 1-5 to 1-3 at the interval. Mikey and Conor Geaney added three early second-half points for Dingle but, at the other end, Paul Murphy won a penalty and Eoin Lawlor goaled as Rathmore led 2-6 to 1-6.
