Champions dethroned
March 23, 2008
Kerry produced a five-star display to conquer defending champions Cork by 0-15 to 0-10 in a cracking Cadbury's Munster U21 FC clash at Austin Stack Park.
The Kingdom did most of their best work in the second half, having managed to sneak into a slender 0-8 to 0-6 interval lead despite having a strong wind at their backs.
Tommy Walsh fired over two points for the would-be winners and Paddy Curran added three more in the first half but Kieran O'Leary and Paul O'Connor each chipped in with neat efforts to keep the Rebel County very much in touch by half-time.
Kerry upped the ante in the second half though with man of the match Alan O'Sullivan and David Moran to the fore at midfield.
A master switch saw Killian Young go to full back and while Cork tried all they knew to get on terms in the final quarter, the Kingdom held firm.
