Kerry champions Dr Crokes narrowly defeated Waterford's Rathgormack in a tense Munster semi-final, advancing to their first provincial final since 2018. The Killarney club emerged victorious by a single point, 0-9 to 0-8, after a hard-fought encounter characterized by both teams struggling against a strong wind.
Nothing comes easy in these provincial scuffles at the best of times, and Kerry champions Dr Crokes almost learned that to their ultimate cost after being taken to the brink by Waterford’s Rathgormack in a dour and dogged Munster semi-final.
In an intriguing contest – at least for the small knot of a crowd looking on in Fraher Field – both teams seemed to fare better playing against a strong wind than with it, although Dr Crokes did enjoy a two-point half-time lead, 0-7 to 0-5, having played against the elements.Leinster club SFC semi-final: Cuala grind out victory over Tullamore
The Kerry champions would have been expected to kick on from there, but a missed free from Burns early in the second half seemed to signpost the difficulties to come for both teams.
