Provincial glory for Kerry as big win ends 20-year wait for victory on Cork soil
Jack O’Connor’s much-vaunted charges showed the full width of their powers at Páirc Uí Rinn last night to end the county’s nine-year wait for provincial honours, while also bridging a 20-year gap to the last time a Kerry U21 team scored a championship victory on Corksoil.

They chased in threes and fours, horsed red shirts out over the sideline and defended the goalmouth as if their lives depended on it – and this when the scoreboard had them commanding a double-figures lead.
