Cork look stage shook.. Kerry settled way better, kicking nice scores.
Can I ask is there a back door here?

Very impressive 1st half. Playing Very positive football. White excellent again. Much improved performance by Ronan Carroll.

Great display so far although a couple of goal chances butchered.
Horsebox, yes there is a backdoor.

Should be double that amount ahead, Cork absolutely woeful - I'd say the ball has been in the Kerry half about 3miuntes in that 31.
One criticism however is the amount of chances left behind us, some great runs off the shoulder being made around the D but time and again the player in possession does not seem to have the peripheral vision to pop an easy pass off to the runner.

A lot of talent there. White has another year at minor. Ben Murphy could be a good foil as a defensive midfielder at senior level. I liked Killian dennehy too, classy looking player

Without a doubt the most complete performance by any Kerry team this year.
Astonishingly mature showing from such young lads.

Heard a lot about Carroll at ff but looking good tonight. Not selfish and always trying to take the best option. A clever footballer. But White and Murphy were super.

Gearoid White is only 15 and only a few months overage for under 15s.
what a player

There were stars all over the pitch - armchair ride for the full back line given the dominance in the middle 8; Ben Murphy superb, Dennehy very good but White stole the show - 0-08 was some shooting. Very classy team, physically strong in all areas.

Very impressive stuff. A joy to watch. Yes Cork threw in the white towel early doors for sure but that's not to take anything away from a sublime display from our young guns.
Speaking of White, wasn't he absolutely magnificent. Left and right. Nothing cocky about him either. Gave a very grounded interview after the game. This from a 15 year old!

Very classy and assured performance. What is so pleasing having watched tonights game and the U20s at the weekend is our defensive structure combined with both teams moving the ball at pace its so refreshing to watch.
Young White seems to be a future star and Murphy has the potential to be a future Kerry midfielder.
All in all whatever happens with the seniors come this summer the conveyor belt of young talent between minors and U20s certainly doesn't look like stopping. The future looks bright indeed!

An extraordinary turn around in a week or so , with only two points between them in Tralee. One would have thought that Cork would have been even more formidable at home. Of course thinking back to that Tralee game , Kerry were very comfortable at the stage the referee gave them a penalty for a very dubious foot block. With hindsight , that gave a false picture of the way that game panned out . On the other hand, Kerry were poor in the first half against Tipp. It is well nigh impossible to predict how young fellows of that age will perform on a given day.
Either way, it was an extraordinary performance with an extraordinary scores.total. I was delighted that Ronan O’Carroll revealed his true worth. He had played poorly up to this but was much more confident tonight as exemplified by the aplomb with which he converted the penalty.
Our midfield has been our fulcrum in all the matches.
There was a time when John Mitchells produced forwards of the calibre of Gearóid White by the new time. He gave a wondrous performance for a boy who will be a minor again next year. Perhaps , he will be the inspiration for more young lads to become star forwards for John Mitchells, Rolling back the years.
After the match , I think Paddy Kelly said some of the Cork lads were only fifteen. That is ridiculously young and might go some of the way to explaining their poor performance .

That was exceptional from Kerry this evening just exceptional.
Young Geariod White 8 points 6 from play.
Some if thr scores this evening matched anything we saw in Clones.
Mention for OBeaghlaoich what a family to keep producing these lads.
A Mention to Cork, Not easy seeing you lads take a beating like that, they are still very young.

Lovely style of football they played. White stole the show, but I really enjoyed how comfortable everyone was on the ball, assuredly playing it around, either with the foot or the hand. Well done to management as well for allowing them to play that way.

A seriously talented and very impressive Kerry minor display this evening as this team continues it's trajectory upwards to a limit yet unknown. Well done to the players, management, and all involved in securing a Munster title in Cork's backyard in emphatic fashion.

cant judge alot just yet but these 2 teams that weve seen in the last 3 days, seem to have 12 excellent backs....well coached with 4 fantastic midfielders.
both sets of forwards have had wasteful games but its unusual to see kerry teams so strong defensively

The Cork players had no composure once they got through the centre but better teams will.

That's 5 wins for Kerry over Cork across minor/u20/senior. Can't beat them half enough! The max they could possibly meet in any given championship year is 8 times.
