Tadhg Morley has revealed the Kerry players got “a great buzz” out of holding onto the ball for almost five minutes and scoring a free in the closing stages of Saturday’s Munster semi-final.

Between winning a sideline from an errant Chris Kelly kick-out to David Clifford winning a free which Seán O’Shea converted to put them four points up in the first minute of additional time, Kerry retained the ball for four minutes and 42 seconds.
