AUSTIN STACKS CLAIMED their third Kerry club senior football championship title in succession with a five-point win over Kenmare Shamrocks at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Sharpshooter Sean O’Shea shot 1-5 for the losing team, but the Tralee club did enough to run out 1-16 to 1-11 winners. 

Conor Jordan’s early goal gave Austin Stacks momentum and they almost grabbed a second goal with nine minutes to play after Kieran Donaghy set-up Jack O’Shea, but he blazed over. 

The Rockies held firm in the closing stages to seal the win. They face East Kerry in the opening round of the county SFC next weekend.
