Na Gaeil and Beaufort to contest Kerry IFC decider

Jack Barry was a key figure for Na Gaeil in this weekend Kerry IFC semi-final win over Desmonds

Na Gaeil, powered by their Kerry midfield pairing of Jack Barry and Diarmuid O’Connor, produced an impressive second half display to defeat Castleisland Desmonds (1-19 to 0-11) in the intermediate club championship semi-final at Austin Stack Park. It was an eye-catching performance from the Tralee side that lost Stefan Okunbor in the warm-up, no doubt much to the disappointment of Kerry boss Jack O’Connor, who was watching from the stand.

Desmonds held the upper hand in the opening exchanges and held a two-point lead by the first water break (0-4 to 0-2).
