What a fantastic broadcasting service 👏👏

[tonydorigo]

Anyone think that there will be some of the bigger names drafted back into the team for the Munster final? Dylan Geaney, Colm Moriarty, Sean Quilter and Eddie Horan come to mind. Strong enough panel there to get a result tomorrow.

Injured

[westgaa]

Our forwards are costing us big time, big improvement needed up there in 2and half

[kerrybhoy06]

The goal we conceded? Can we not coach players to defend anymore? At every level we are poor defensively

[john4]

Great comeback, I could watch Paul O'Shea play football all-day, he has IT.

[Deleted]

Great second half performance

He was very poor in the first half but had a great 2nd half in fairness to him.

[royalkerryfan]

Real gutsy performance by Kerry tonight.
Cork looked much stronger than us in the first half.
We were winning very few breaks and it looked bad at HT.
That was a serious second half, Casey at 6 was excellent as was Paul O Shea, for Cork, Cronin kicked some massive scores.
Great result.

[oldschool]

one of the best games I've seen. Kerry played beautiful football. Great fielding, great footpassing, great speed and movement. A joy to watch. Well done Kerry and played the "Kerry Way"

Outstanding second half, how many times would you see a young fella shrink and disappear after a bad start, takes great stuff to put that behind you and play a blinder.

[greengold35]

Poor first half but massive display in the 2nd half - got it right on the line for the second half, Lyne & Paul O’Shea immense, Seán O’Brien, Eddie Horan shored up the defence - great play up front from O’Beaglaoich, Quilter. Big statement.

Were we at the same game?

First half was one to forget with poor football and even poorer execution of the basic skills.

At half time Kerry were deservedly down by 4 with the goal being a big disappointment as the Kerry defense seemed to stop, expecting a free out and the Cork forward was left run at goal and tuck it away.

Second half was a different proposition as we worked our way into the game with a few players upping their game considerably and Cork had no answers.

As the game went on Kerry got stronger and stronger and took some good scores and worked well to protect their goal.

Enjoyable victory against the old enemy and defending All Ireland champions. Need the second half performance for the full 60 minutes to take further honours.

Agreed. Don’t think the FF line suits him. Much better around the middle.

[homerj]

superb stuff.

who stands in their way now?

Kerry are Munster Under-20 champions after dethroning Cork with a powerful come-from-behind second half performance that left the defending All-Ireland champions down and out by a 0-17 to 1-09 scoreline.

The Kingdom overturned a four-points half-time deficit by outscoring the Rebels by nine, 0-12 to 0-03, in the second half, to set up an All-Ireland semi-final against Galway or Roscommon on St Patrick's Day.

Neither county had produced their best work in their respective semi-final wins, but Cork came to Tralee slight favourites to retain their provincial title.

By half-time it seemed as if they would make good on that, taking a 1-06 to 0-05 lead into the break. Kerry had other ideas, however, in the second period, and went about their business in a focused manner, kicking over scores with regularity.

Midfielder Darragh Lyne and a free from Paul Walsh got the Kingdom moving early in the second half, and though Cork hit back with a fine long-range score from joint-captain Mark Cronin, it was clear that the momentum had already shifted.

Where Cork had been all power and speed and directness in the first half, now Kerry had the measure of the champions, and were hoovering up most of the ball around the middle and running all the best angles and lines.

Ruaidhri O Beaglaoich won a tap-over free for Walsh, and when Paul O'Shea and Sean Horan pointed the teams were level; 0-10 to 1-07.

Thereafter it was a near Kerry procession with a volley of points – two from O Beaglaoich, one from an advanced mark, and two from sub Sean Quilter to push Kerry 0-14 to 1-08 ahead.

Blake Murphy fired over Cork’s third and final point of the half to make it a two-point game, but Kerry weren’t for catching, with O Beaglaoich (2) and Sean Keane sealing the win.

The first half was a story of two goal chances: one missed by Kerry in the 16th minute and the other converted by Cork in the 25th minute. The game’s only goal was, more or less, the difference between the teams at half-time, with both sides ruing plenty of missed chances.


Blake Murphy celebrates scoring the Cork goal
Kerry were first on the scoreboard through O Beaglaoich's free in the fifth minute, but there were never any more than two points between the teams until Blake Murphy nailed Cork’s goal late in the half.

Patrick Darcy and Killian Falvey converted to edge Kerry 0-03 to 0-01 in front, but Cronin (free) and Jack Murphy replied to level it up. Moments before Murphy’s score, O Beaglaoich got inside his man and teed up Darcy a couple of metres from the goal line, but a moment’s hesitation by the Kerry number 11 allowed David Buckley recover from a slip and make a brilliant goal-line block.

It was 0-04 apiece when Aodhán Ó Luasa dispossessed Dylan Casey and put Blake Murphy through, but the joint-captain still had plenty to do before calmly side-stepping Marc Kelliher and slipping the ball to the Kerry net.

Murphy added two late points to give the Rebels a 1-6 to 0-05 interval lead, even though they had kicked four scoreable shots short into Kelliher’s hands. Kerry were guilty of wastage, too, in that first period, with five wides and a couple of under-hit efforts hurting them on the scoreboard.

The second half was a different story. Kerry could hardly miss, and they booked their All-Ireland semi-final spot with a first All-Ireland title since 2008 still a live issue.

Kerry: Marc Kelliher, Owen Fitzgerald, James McCarthy, Dan McCarthy, Luke Brosnan, Dylan Casey, Sean O’Brien, Darragh Lyne 0-01, Michael O’Gara, Paul Walsh 0-03 (frees), Patrick Darcy 0-02, Killian Falvey 0-01, Paul O’Shea 0-01, Sean Horan 0-01, Ruaidhri O Beaglaoich 0-05 (0-02f, 0-01m).

Subs: Eddie Horan for O Fitzgerald (ht), Sean Keane 0-01 for P Walsh (44), Sean Quilter 0-02 (0-01f) for K Falvey (46), Sean O’Connell for S Horan (49), Dylan Geaney for P Darcy (54).

Cork: Cian O’Leary, Colm O’Shea, Daniel O’Mahony, Diarmuid Phelan, David Buckley, Billy Foley, Eanna O’Hanlon, Jack Lawton, Daniel O’Connell, Jack Murphy 0-01, Aodhan Ó Luasa, Brian Hayes, Mark Cronin 0-04 (0-01f), Fionn Herlihy 0-01, Blake Murphy 1-03.

Subs: Brian Lynch for D Phelan (29), Conor Corbett for A Ó Luasa (ht), Bill Curtin for J Lawton (38), Darragh Hayes for B Hayes (52), Conor Russell for F Herlihy (59).

Saw O'Beaglaoich being interviewed over by the terrace afterwards so I assume it was him.

Love those frosty windless evenings under the lights at ASP. And Cork bet. All is right with the world again (for this week, anyway).

Yea, O ‘Beaglaoich got the award

[Whosinmidfield]

Fantastic win! Briliant second half performance. Mark Kelliher, Sean O'Brien, Sean Horan and Ruaidhri O'Beaglaoich the standouts for me. Paul O'Shea as well in the second half when moved out the field. I thought our kickouts and defence were fantastic throughout. Hopefully we can push on and win it out.

[westgaa]

Some turn around by Kerry fair play, great 2nd half, paul o shea coming out the field was big for Kerry, got on an amount of ball, subs had huge impact, sean o brien excellent at no 7. Great win looking forward to semi final.

[runflyrun]

Great second half performance tonight!
The defence were excellent all through, aside from one small lapse for the goal!
It's been a long time since any Kerry team has defended like that, tenacious tracking, covering for each other, fighting for every ball, great credit due to our management team for this!

[kerryeastcoastusa]

How did Darragh Lyne get on in midfield? Seems like a good athletic mobile midfielder who had a good end to the season with legion.

[sullyschoice]

He looked alright to me.


O Brien at 7 impressed me

He did well and kicked a lovely score. I thought his midfield partner Michael O Gara was outstanding, the boy has some engine.
