Kerry struggle past Cork to reach next month’s Munster final

parade as the defending Munster champions won their way to next month’s provincial final after a fairly unconvincing three-point win.

While most would have expected a somewhat bigger margin of victory for the Kingdom, Cork brought their best performance of the year to a sun-drenched Fitzgerald Stadium and kept the home side honest and under pressure for the bones of an hour.

That Cork started so well but then not so much burned out but faded away will occupy John Cleary’s thoughts between here and the All-Ireland series in mid-May By the 18th minute Cork were 1-6 to 0-5 ahead, but they would only manage another half dozen points in the remaining 57 minutes. A pair of points each from Sean O’Shea and David Clifford – the latter having a very off day by his standards – sheared Cork’s lead to just one at the interval, 1-7 to 0-9.
