Kerry SFC: Underdogs Mid Kerry produced a never-say-die display of gutsy football to topple mighty An Ghaeltacht, 3-7 to 2-7, in an enthralling county quarter-final at Austin Stack Park yesterday.
An Ghaeltacht - powered by the Ó Sé brothers Darragh, Tomás and Marc, along with Dara Ó Cinnéide and Aodán Mac Gearailt - were expected to see off the divisional side, who had Seán and Darren O'Sullivan up front.
Dr Crokes - with Colm Cooper and Eoin Brosnan on board - emerged 2-10 to 2-6 winners over Milltown Castlemaine in their quarter-final.
