DR CROKES CAPTURED their ninth Munster Club SFC title with an impressive second-half performance to shake off Loughmore-Castleiney at Mallow.
It marks a disappointing end to a stellar year for Loughmore, who started with 13 players over the age of 30. Kerry hurler Tom Doyle opened the scoring before Burns raised another white flag with a sharp turn after fine defensive play from official man of the match Maidhcí Lynch. They didn’t press home their possession thereafter.
However, their manager Pat O’Shea removed his hat in a fit of frustration soon after due to their ponderous play. They coughed up a couple of cheap turnovers from which Liam McGrath won and converted two frees.The big question was whether the wind would allow Crokes to gain more success shooting over the blanket in the second half.
Given more space by Crokes’ faster attacks, Brosnan grew in prominence. He kicked a pair from play before getting on the end of the game’s first goal chance.
