KERINS O’RAHILLY’S took a big step forward in their bid to win a first Kerry Senior Football Championship since 2002 this evening.
The Strand Road outfit advanced to the semi-finals thanks to a 2-16 to 0-13 win over Dingle at Austin Stack Park.
Paul Geaney impressed with a personal contribution of 0-7 for Dingle, but the men with senior inter-county experience also come to the fore for their opponents.
Jack Savage hit 0-6, Gavin O’Brien scored 1-1, Barry John Keane registered 0-3 and Tommy Walsh chipped in with 0-2. David Moran was also among the scores, while Kerry U20 forward Conor Hayes fired 1-2.
St Brendan’s Board also booked their semi-final spot after running out 1-17 to 1-9 victors against Killarney Legion in the second game of the Tralee double-header.
In Tipperary, Loughmore-Castleiney will contest the senior finals in both codes for the second year in a row after their footballers came from four points behind in the closing stages to record a dramatic one-point win over Moyle Rovers.
The Nire were much too strong for defending champions Ballinacourty in their Waterford SFC semi-final clash, while 2018 winners Coolderry returned to the Offaly SHC final by recording a three-point triumph against Shinrone.
