An Ghaeltacht show St Senan’s no mercy in runaway title win

An Gaeltacht (Kerry) 3-21 St Senan’s (Limerick) 0-8: Much like last year, when it was also a Kerry v Limerick pairing in the Munster Intermediate Club final, An Ghaeltacht showed little mercy to St Senan’s in becoming the fourth consecutive Kerry side to win this title and the 10th from the Kingdom to do so in the last 11 years.

An Ghaeltacht rolled back the years to record this win as a new crop of young footballers have emerged to replace the stars of the early noughties and it will take a good side to lower their colours now.

When Brian Ó Beaglaoich took a second bite at the cherry for the West Kerry side’s first goal after barely two minutes, there appeared to be little doubt about where the game was headed, but An Ghaeltacht joint manager Conal Ó Cruadhlaoich was happy with his side’s application throughout.
