Kerry keep plenty in reserve to dismiss Rebels with ease

There wasn’t an element of this game where Kerry were inferior. OK, they were shy on the wide count but that hardly detracted from a performance that could have been outstanding if Kerry truly wanted it to be.
That Kerry by the end were playing within themselves and yet managed to record their biggest Munster SFC victory over Cork in 35 years spoke volumes of the gulf between the sides. But for Donncha O’Connor’s late consolation free, the margin would have matched the 12 that separated the counties in the 1982 provincial final replay.
