THE GAME IN 60 SECONDS

MAIN MAN

For the week he had in the build-up, especially driving down from Dublin after an appearance on The Late Late Show the previous night, Colm Cooper’s performance and sharpness was one to marvel at. Probably what makes the man such a revered figure all across the spectrum.

KEY MOMENT

The match didn’t hinge on any one moment but how the Crokes youngsters finished with three late goals was interesting to note as they are starting to push hard for more permanent places in the Crokes line-up, probably very much in the way the Killarney side would want.

TALKING POINT

The champions of 2016 and 2015 renew battle from a rivalry forged a decade ago in three County Final wins for South Kerry over Dr Crokes. The older Crokes contingent will need no motivation in trying to make amends for those losses.
