Hogan Cup man of the match Marc O'Conchuir believes that the attitude Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne showed helped them defend their title.
The Kerry side saw off the tough challenge of Roscommon CBS to retain the title in dramatic fashion at Croke Park last weekend.
O'Conchuir, who lead Kerry minors out in their victory over Clare last night was outstanding, but he stressed to the Kerryman that it was very much a team effort.
"I thought the lads were tremendous in the second half with the shift they put in, they really showed what they were made of when they came straight back from their second goal," said Conchuir.
"It wasn't easy with the way Roscommon played, but we were smart and patient enough to know that the cracks would come and space would open eventually."
