THE GAME IN 60 SECONDS

MAIN MAN

Official recognition for Stefan Okunbor, the second Man-of-theMatch award he has earned in Austin Stack Park in two months after getting the honour also for his performance in the Premier Junior Final between Na Gaeil and Beaufort. To get it on the winning side will make it a bit sweeter this time!

KEY MOMENT

How Kerry responded to Dara Moynihan’s black card midway through the second period was a big factor. Had they let it get to them they might have lost out with Cork’s pressure starting to pile but they started the course and got the necessary nerve to overcome that setback and seeing out proceedings for a three point win.

TALKING POINT

In the interests of player welfare it was totally the right decision to allow for breaks in play for water. While not as warm as some of the other days in this present heatwave, a lot of humidity hung in the air and made it all the more difficult for the players as much as trying to take on their opposition.
