AIB Munster GAA Football Junior Club Championship Final – Dromid Pearses (Kerry) 0-16 Kildangan (Tipperary) 1-4
Curran wraps up Dromid stroll
Report from the Irish Independent newspaper
Dromid Pearses 0-16, Kildangan 1-4
Kerry star Declan O’Sullivan did not have to perform any heroics as Dromid Pearses from South Kerry eased to glory against Tipperary champions Kildangan. Dromid led by 0-6 to 0-2 at the interval and any chance Kildangan had disappeared four minutes into the second half, when their corner-back Martin Minehan was red-carded. However, they did close the gap to just two points in the 41st minute after a goal from Eoin Gleeson and a Darragh Egan free. Dromid then went on an 0-8 to 0-1 run in the final quarter with midfielder Thomas Curran kicking the last five unanswered points from frees.
