Late rally sees Kerry minors to extra-time win over Cork
Kerry’s latest minor championship win over Cork extends their winning run over their neighbours at this level which stretches back to 2013
Late rally sees Kerry minors to extra-time win over Cork
TUE, 15 DEC, 2020 - 21:15 EOGHAN CORMICAN, AUSTIN STACK PARK Munster MFC: Kerry 0-21 Cork 1-15 (AET)
Four unanswered points in the second period of extra-time sent Kerry through to a ninth consecutive Munster MFC final after this dramatic semi-final contest against Cork.
Level at 1-14 to 0-17 at the quick change of ends, Kerry made the decisive break when Jordan Kissane and sub Darragh O’Sullivan (three frees) kicked four without reply to open a gap Cork did not have time to bridge.
Kerry’s latest minor championship win over Cork extends their winning run over their neighbours at this level which stretches back to 2013.
Cork sub Aaron Sheehy’s point in the fifth minute of second-half injury-time meant extra-time was required, the second-half replacement - and son of RTÉ journalist Paschal Sheehy - holding his nerve after fellow sub Ciarán McCarthy decided not to take aim with a free from just inside the 45-metre line.
Sheehy’s score was Cork’s first in almost a quarter of an hour, a period during which Kerry corner-forward Cian McMahon threw over five unanswered points (four frees) to nudge the hosts in front, 0-15 to 1-11, four minutes into second-half stoppages. Bobbie O’Dwyer’s side kicked away 1-1 in the minutes before Kerry momentarily assumed the lead.
Cork’s three-point interval lead was somehow still intact come the second water break (1-10 to 0-10), Kerry left scratching their heads at how the gap had not closed one jot after a third-quarter dominated by James Costello’s young troops.
Cork were sustained by Conor Hanlon’s 35th-minute goal, the Buttevant teenager providing a composed finish after fine build-up play by Richard O’Sullivan and Colin Walsh.
Kerry cancelled out the green flag with three unanswered white flags from Cian McMahon, Oisín Maunsell and a mark from sub Darragh O’Sullivan, but Kingdom efforts to regain parity were time and again frustrated as Keith Evans and sub Cillian Burke had goal shots blocked by last-ditch interventions from a red shirt.
Cork were full value for their 0-9 to 0-6 interval lead. Indeed, were it not for one or two avoidable turnovers that ended in scorable Kerry frees, the visitors to Tralee might have enjoyed a greater advantage turning around for the second period.
It was a real lively opening half an hour from Bobbie O’Dwyer’s charges, their busy and direct approach complemented by a string of brilliantly taken long-range points.
Ruairí Burns had Kerry off the mark after 67 seconds, but the Kingdom would not score again from play until the 18th minute. Cian McMahon could have had a goal during this period, Cork ‘keeper Callum Dungan proving equal to the shot. Dungan was also alert to tip over a dipping William Shine free.
Four-in-a-row from Sean Brady, Conor Hanlon (two frees) and Hugh O’Connor, either side of a pair of Kerry frees, propelled Cork into a 0-5 to 0-3 lead at the first water break. The respective kicks by Brady and O’Connor were straight out of the top drawer.
Cork stretched their lead upon the resumption of play, dual player Colin Walsh who featured for the Cork minor hurlers at the weekend landing three points between the 18th and 21st minute.
His third, after a superb fetch to claim a mark, handed Cork a double-scores 0-8 to 0-4 advantage. The closing stages, though, belonged more to Kerry. A pair of Burns’ frees cut the gap to two before Walsh brought his tally to four when fisting over a looping pass into the Kerry danger area.
There was still a long road to travel in this semi-final, but as has been the case at this level since 2014, it was Kerry who edged out their neighbours.

You wouldn’t give tuppence for Kerry’s chances as that first half progressed. Obliterated at midfield , tentative all over the field and uncertain with our frees. The midfield dominance enabled the Cork forwards to showcase their kicking prowess , shooting some great points . Indeed they got some great scores all through. When the goal went in it seemed that a miserable year was going to get even worse.
Yet, Kerry resolve ensured that while we were on the ropes for long stages we managed to stay off the canvas . Gradually and inexorably we wore them down and eventually in the second period of extra time we got well on top. It was a great contest peppered with with some fine football and sloppy football.
Cillian Burke and Darragh O’Sullivan made noble contributions when introduced. We need to improve our free taking.
One has to feel sorry for Cork, They played top drawer football for long periods. I was surprised they did not make Kerry go long more often from the kickouts as they appeared to have a stronger hand at midfield.
In the heel of the hunt I suppose it came down to endurance with players cramping all over the place.
The referee was kind to us on occasions.
The commentator was very keen on puc saors!

Thought it was deja vu when the Cork sub got on the end of that skyscraper attempt for a point, and had only the keeper to beat with the clock striking 60 minutes. Got away with that - and also getting the benefit of the stronger wind in the 2nd half - our name could be on the cup.
Some great heart showed by our lads all through in fairness, and fine individual performances by the likes of Joey Nagle, Oisin Maunsell, Cian McMahon and the very strong bench headed by Cillian Burke and Darragh O'Sullivan. Probably suited the subs that they came on with the wind at their backs and the starters did well to keep the half time deficit manageable when things were going against them. Will be hard to pick the 15 for the final.

Great contest. Can i ask is Oisin Maunsell overage for this? If he is Kerry will be disqualified! Thought he was outstanding tonight. Cramping badly at the end but still making the crucial interventions. Tremendous character shown by Kerry after a slow start. Hats off to Cork too - played some lovely direct football. The Hanlon lad kicked some marvellous scores for them. Ref was pretty fussy, I thought, wouldn't leave the whistle alone.

Did Cork have a goal disallowed? I only caught the extra time bit without sound and the closing credits appeared to show a goal being fisted in. I am looking forward to watching the full game over the coming days.

Hats off to Cork too - played some lovely direct football. The Hanlon lad kicked some marvellous scores for them. Ref was pretty fussy, I thought, wouldn't leave the whistle alone. I think the poor standard of Cork's tackling throughout gave him little to no choice. Tackling from the wrong side, jersey-pulling, late hands, hands on the shoulders/arms, pushes to opposition players, tackling the body as opposed to the ball. There was a least 3 frees where Cork lads tackled Kerry players going down on the ball, which is just utterly basic stuff. I know they are only young lads but it was by far and away the worst display of attempted tackling I've seen at intercounty for a good time. The fact that Cork's poor/lack of ability to tackle properly was throughout the whole team including subs would have me asking serious question of the coaches. Ref tried to play advantage a number of times but is was even notable the number of times that Cork players committed a 2nd foul while the advantage was running. The thing is that Cork's age/inexperience definitely didn't help them as adult players would have the cop to realise that the ref was going to blow for stuff and stop doing it[or at least try to be less blatant and obvious], but the Cork lads just kept at it throughout. On the subject of tackling, overall I thought Kerry's tackling was a mile ahead of Cork [especially when comparing the respective backs] but there were a couple of Kerry players who need to work on their tackling out the field. The other semi-final is being streamed by Munster GAA tomorrow night but they are charging €5 for it. I'd be surprised if Clare don't win this but conditions tomorrow night might make this a tricky one. Munster final is on the 22nd and TG4 will be broadcasting that. munster.gaa.ie/event/2020-electric-ireland-munster-minor-football-championship-semi-final-clare-v-limerick/

What a performance that was by the young lads. Kept going and attacking at Cork even when they hit the front. Thats the way to do it!
Well done lads, did the county proud and badly needed!

I am looking forward to watching the full game over the coming days. If it happened in the first half then no, he fisted it over the bar. Thought it was a goal myself, the net just looked very translucent at that very moment.

Great game to watch, I thought we were dead and buried at least 3 times in the game.
Some character shown by such a young team.
Cork full forward was a lovely player, their centre forward must be a rugby player as his steps and charging was constant throughout.
The spirit shown last night has lifted my spirits somewhat after a poor championship

Really enjoyed watching last night’s game, it didn’t look great for a while but they showed great composure and tenacity to fight back and win it in the end. TG4 again, take a bow, the coverage was, as always top class. Well done Kerry great win.

Echo the comments from most about how enjoyable it ended up to be. But with 10 minutes to go and 4 points down it was not enjoyable as I contemplated two losses to Cork in 6 weeks.
This game will bring them on in spades. Just a warning though that a Tuesday night, 3 days before Christmas is exactly when a shock could happen especially to young lads so I hope they don't think they are into the semi final yet.
In normal circumstances I would feel a bit sorry for the young Cork lads but the antics of their Maor Foirne wiped that sorrow away. As young Burns lined up a free off the ground he ran out to shout at him only to be told by the linesman to get back behind the line. After the free was missed and the Kerry Team ran for the water break, same Maor Foirne ran after Burns having a word in his ear for the missed free. I hope he is proud of himself today.

I am a kerry man and the actions of our own Maor Foirne throughout the game were nothing less than a disgrace. Every 30 seconds he was running across the pitch and never stopped for the whole game . I know instructions must be given to players but no need for it as often as he was on the pitch

Maor Foirne running on the pitch are unnecessary when you've two water breaks and halftime. And with no crowd, instructions will be easy to hear from the sideline.

Fantastic to get the win. I was very worried after the goal went in to put us 5 points down. We were struggling in the forwards so I thought that was a very big margin but they showed great character to eventually win out. Cork’s 11 and 14 were very good but I thought our backs were outstanding. One area where I felt we really struggled was winning breaks, it seemed like Cork were winning nearly all of them. A lot of our forwards seemed to have off days or were quiet but what played a huge part in our victory was the contribution of subs Cillian Burke, Jordan Kissane and Darragh O’Sullivan. Standouts for me were Joey Nagle, Armin Heinrich, Oisin Maunsell and my man of the match Cian McMahon.

Had heard a bit about oisin Maunsell this year and wasn’t disappointed, what a Trojan and what a captain he looks. Serious character shown by such a young group of lads and this game will stand to them for a long time. A bit of bias but delighted to see 3 lads from my own parish castlegregory in thomas, caolan and maurice playing their part, serious achievement
