Despite the pressure coming in, Kehoe glided through the Mary I cover and skillfully scooped the goal over the heads of the defenders before crashing the ball past goalkeeper Eoghan Cahill.
In what was a one-sided decider, Conor Browne nabbed UCC’s second goal in the 40th minute as 10 players contributed to their scoresheet before the final whistle.
The result saw UCC collect their first Fitzgibbon Cup since 2013 and their 39th in total.
