THE FIRST PROVINCIAL senior finals of 2016 took place yesterday in Croke Park and Fitzgerald Stadium.
Kilkenny and Kerry lifted the trophies with Cats midfielder Conor Fogarty and Kingdom attacker Paul Geaney rewarded for their displays by claiming the man-of-the-match awards last night on The Sunday Game.
