Causeway did what needed to be done to progress to quarter-finals of the Kerry SHC, putting 4-17 past a helpless Dr Crokes side in monsoon like conditions at the Austin Stack Park. Crokes, who scored 1-12 on the day, made an explosive start to the contest when Colm O’Cuiv smashed one home after a couple of minutes. 

Brian O’Connor’s attempted point was not dealt with by the Causeway defence and O'Cuiv capitalised to give the underdogs the lead. Conor O’Hare made it a four point lead shortly after as Causeway struggled with the inclement weather conditions.
