Marc Ó Sé’s Tralee CBS turn on the power
‘The Green’ were always in control, though they found scoring difficult in the opening half against a tenacious defence in which Oisin Moran, Niall O’Connor, and Michael O’Leary were superb.
Tralee, backboned by Kerry All-Ireland minor winners Kieran Dwyer at full-back and Tómas O Connor at wing-forward, had other lively performances in Tommy Lynch, John Walsh, Jason Mortimer, and man of the match Sean Donnellan. They led 0-4 to 0-2 after 15 minutes despite the final pass often going astray under fierce tackling by the Na Sceilge rearguard. Jason Mortimer, Sean Donnellan (2), and Mikey Kelliher were on target for The Green while Muiris Fitzgerald (free) and Cillian Cronin replied for the South Kerry side.
