KERRY 0-12 CORK  0-9/MUNSTER MFC:  Kerry qualified for the semi-finals of the Munster MFC when they defeated Cork in a scrappy encounter played under lights at Austin Stack Park, Tralee, yesterday evening.

Kerry were always in control of this contest which was ruined by constant stoppages and the play lacked the fluency and excitement that one associates with Cork-Kerry clashes.

KERRY: D O'Sullivan (0-5, three frees); C O'Connor, B Brosnan (0-2 each); D Walsh, B O'Grady, D Doona (0-1 each).

CORK: C Weste (0-4, two frees); B Twomey (0-2, one free); K Hartnett, G Hurley, C Harrrington (0-1 each).
