Kerry Take Home Munster Title With Win Over Reigning All-Ireland Champions Cork

Kerry were crowned Munster champions on Saturday evening, with a nine-point win over reigning Munster and All-Ireland champions Cork. The Kingdom drove home to a 2-13 to 2-4 win over Cork, with a dominant patch in the second half that Cork just did not have a response to. Kerry were crowned champions.

Fantastic scoring by Player of the Match Louise Ní Mhuirceartaigh – who finished with 1-5 in total – drove Kerry forward as play resumed. Despite brilliant performances from Cork’s Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley – who had each already played camogie for their county earlier that day against Offaly – it was just not enough on the day. A goal from Megan O’Connell followed by a second for Kerry from Ní Mhuirceartaigh sealed victory for Kerry. Cork will now go head-to-head with Meath in the qualifiers.
