rte.ie – Kerry too strong for Tipperary in Munster final

Kerry are Munster senior football champions for a 78th time after securing a ten-point victory over Tipperary in this afternoon’s provincial decider at a sunny Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney.

Paul Geaney bagged 2-3 for the hosts as Tipperary, appearing in their first provincial senior decider since 2002, started well and goaled within a minute before being outclassed.

In truth, this was a routine victory for Kerry but Tipp showed enough going forward, when they did decide to display some adventure, to suggest that the Kingdom’s defence can be got at.
