Kerry SFC/ South Kerry 0-12 Dr Crokes 1-6: Maurice Fitzgerald inspired South Kerry to a second successive Kerry SFC title at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, yesterday.
South Kerry led 0-5 to 0-4 at the interval thanks to points from Byran Sheehan (two), Fitzgerald, Declan O'Sullivan and Colm O'Connor.
Points from county star Colm Gooch Cooper and Bryan McMahon kept Dr Crokes in touch at the break.
But Fitzgerald fired over two amazing points early in the second half as South Kerry moved 0-8 to 0-5 clear.
Cooper's opportunist goal levelled the scores with 20 minutes remaining but late points from Sheehan, Hussey and Hickey sealed South Kerry's triumph.
Earlier, An Ghaeltacht defeated Kerins O'Rahilly's 2-8 to 0-7 in the Kerry club final and will represent the county in the Munster Club Championship.
