KERRY SFC SEMI-FINALS Dr Crokes 1-9 Feale Rangers 0-7: FEALE RANGERS were sent crashing out of this year's championship yesterday.

The score that decided the tie came in the 43rd minute when Colm Cooper, spotting the inrushing David Moloney, hung the ball in the air for the Crokes player to finish to the net.

Rangers lost Paul Galvin, who damaged his collar bone, early in the game, while Tadgh Kennelly also picked up an injury early in the second half and ended up a virtual passenger at full forward.
