KERRY PLAYERS PAUL Geaney and Johnny Buckley both hit the net as their clubs Dingle and Dr Crokes set up a Kerry senior club football championship final clash today.
In a double-header at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, Dingle defeated the reigning Kerry and Munster champions Austin Stacks by 3-10 to 0-11 while Dr Crokes beat Rathmore by 1-17 to 2-10 in the curtain-raiser.
The results pit the two clubs together in a repeat of the 2012 Kerry senior county championship final and also means they are exempt from relegation this season.
