Goals key as Kerry keep Cork quiet to land Munster minor title 

This was a Munster final serviced far more by mistakes than scores. So often the wrong decision was taken, a fact of proceedings that was amplified late on as Cork chased an equalising goal.

Efficient rather than excellent, Kerry shut down and shut out Cork to reverse last month's quarter-final result between the counties and wrestle back the Munster minor football crown.

The five-point victory delivers the Kingdom a 51st Munster minor title and progresses them to an All-Ireland quarter-final against Kildare next weekend. Cork, meanwhile, must regroup for a daunting last-eight bout with Leinster champions Dublin.
