An Ghaeltacht (Kerry) 3-21
St Senan’s (Limerick) 0-8
Jason O’Connor reports from Austin Stack Park, Tralee
KERRY’S DOMINANCE OF the Munster intermediate club football championship continued this afternoon as former All-Ireland senior club finalists An Ghaeltacht became the 10th side from the Kingdom in 11 years to win this provincial title by putting Limerick’s St Senans to the sword in Tralee this afternoon.
An Ghaeltacht’s dominance was evident from the off, midfielder Sean Ó Gairbhí passing to Kerry senior panelist Brian Ó Beaglaoich whose first effort was saved by St Senan’s goalkeeper Anthony Russell before Ó Beaglaoich put in the rebound in the second minute.
Dara Ó Sé impressed throughout with nine points (two frees) as the Kerry side’s second goal came in the 27th minute when Rob Ó Sé punished Senans for a poor short kick-out in finishing from close range as the score was 2-14 to 0-2 at half-time.
Russell did well to prevent a further two opportunities at goals for An Ghaeltacht in the first period as the victors emptied the bench in the second-half.
PJ Mac Laimh fisted home An Gaeltacht’s third goal in the 47th minute as the winning margin stood at 22 points for a finish.
The side joint managed by Marc Ó Sé and Conal Ó Cruadhlaoich now face Ulster champions Moy of Tyrone in January in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Ian Ryan, Ray Flaherty James Naughton and Richard Hayes tried hard for St Senan’s on the day but there was never any doubt about An Ghaeltacht emerging triumphant.
Scorers for An Ghaeltacht: Dara Ó Sé 0-9 (0-2f), Rob Ó Sé, PJ Mac Laimh 1-1 each, Éanna Ó Conchúir 0-4 (0-2f), Brian Ó Beaglaoich 1-0, Sean Ó Gairbhí, Colm Ó Muircheartaigh, Sean M Ó Conchúir (0-1f), Tomas Ó Sé, Peter P Sauerland, Séan Ó Bambaire 0-1 each.
Scorers for St Senan’s: Ian Ryan, Richard Hayes (0-1f), Seamus McSweeney (0-2f) 0-2 each, Ray Flaherty, Adam Kearns 0-1 each.
