An Ghaeltacht ease to 17-point victory

An Ghaeltacht consider their 1999 victory in Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta a starting point from which the club’s success in the following years stemmed and the Corca Dhuibhne club will hope this year’s success will have a similar effect.

The Kerry men proved far too strong for Cill na Martra in yesterday’s senior final, eventually running out 17-point victors, 4-18 to 1-10, in Tourmakeady.

The game turned on a five-minute spell before the break as An Ghaeltacht hit 2-3 without reply, Tomás Ó Sé and PJ Mac Láimh netting goals within seconds of each other before Noel O’Leary received a straight red card for a foul on Cian Ó Murchú.
