The Kerry kingpins played the final 22 minutes with 14 men, but eased past Kilmurry of Cork.

This curtain-raiser not only overshadowed the intermediate final to follow, the crowd far outnumbered the attendance at Saturday afternoon’s senior final. It filled the main stand, spilled onto the terracing either side, and fanned around the perimeter of the pitch. Many stationed themselves at the Town End goal which Clifford attacking into in the first half and switched ends at the break.
His fifth of the day made it 0-6 to 0-2 but Kilmurry had a purple patch, with two fine Liam Wall points. However, they missed with six attempts at goal and their danger man Pádraic Berhanu got, if anything, even more close attention than Clifford owing to the lack of numbers in support.
