Kerry SF Final: Kilmoyley 2-10 Lixnaw 1-5 Kerry champions Kilmoyley made it three county titles on the trot when they crushed Lixnaw with a tremendous second-half display at Austin Stack Park.

A wind-assisted 1-5 to 0-4 interval lead was never going to be enough for Lixnaw as the crowd were treated to great skills from Shane Brick, who turned the final in the champions' favour.

The game changed in the opening 10 minutes of the second period as Brick helped himself to a point and a goal. And it was the same player who effectively ended the challenge of Lixnaw as he set up a goal for Ollie Diggin.

KILMOYLEY: J Walsh, B Harris, P Regan, I Brick, S Fitzgerald, J McCarthy, C Harris, D Young, R Gentleman, B Brick, S Brick (1-4), M Murnane, O Diggin (1-2), C Walsh (0-2), M Regan (0-2). Subs: T Murnane for D Young, S Griffin for C Harris, J Murnane for J McCarthy.
