THE GAME IN 60 SECONDS

MAIN MAN

Must have been a tough call for those charged with the official decision to give it to either Liam Carey or Mike Breen but in the end Carey got the nod for his total of 1-5.

KEY MOMENT

Ahead by five points after 16 minutes Beaufort were already headed to a comprehensive victory but Ciaran Kennedy’s goal after 17 minutes practically sealed the win for them with just a quarter of the game elapsed.

TALKING POINT

The debate about the county’s grading system is for another day but while this hasn’t been the most flawless of Kerry victories in the competition - St Marys in 2011 and Templenoe in 2016 were arguably more convincing overall in their campaigns - Beaufort scored the highest winning total in a final.
