Trailing Kerry by 11 points at the break, a game that was characterised by a strong wind that blew into the town end terrace at Austin Stack Park, was turned on its head by Dublin’s greater second-half scoring power. Lorcan O’Dell nailed a pair of two-pointers to tie the game and another substitute Luke Breathnach kicked the priceless last point to nudge Dublin into the lead as they squeezed out the win. Kerry enjoyed a handsome advantage at half-time, 1-12 to 0-4. It was constructed by the manner in which they harnessed the hefty wind at their backs to float over three two-pointers, and also how they pounced for a goal after the game had just moved past the half-hour mark. Captain Seán O’Shea knocked over a pair of two-pointers and Brian Ó Beaglaoich fired another from distance. Then before the break when Ó Beaglaoich attempted another shot, it fell short and hung in the air, tempting Evan Comerford from goal to challenge Kerry’s Micheál Burns and Dublin’s David Byrne. The ball spilled loose from them all, falling into the lap of Paul Geaney who sidestepped and tidily finished to the net from 13 yards. Advertisement 16. Evan Comerford (Ballymun Kickhams) 2.
