He kicked one from 45, another from 50 - off the ground and from the hands, it doesn't matter to the Kenmare man and that brought the momentum back to Cork.
Graham O'Sullivan kicked another beauty and with the big, burly Padraig Lucey of the Killarney Legion club taking over in the middle of the field, they bounded into the dressing rooms with a 0-9 to 1-3 lead.
The Kerry man's fetches, which you can watch here from the Electric Ireland stream, were the highlights of the half.

St Mary's emerged for the second half a different team though. That man McGuigan kicked another cracker and Stephen McConville pointed to bring them within one.
UCC smelled the danger and that man O'Shea stepped up when they needed him to stretch their lead in response though. Then, disaster struck for the Ranch in a crazy two minute spell for Aaron Boyle.
First, the Armagh man was pulled over by referee David Gough and was shown a yellow carded for having his gumshield in his sock rather than wearing it. Then, he received a black card moments later for an off-the-ball collision when UCC were attacking.

To Mary's credit, they didn't wilt easy but eventually UCC's class told and they tore away. Subs Gary Murphy and James Naughton pointed late on to seal a 22nd Sigerson Cup for them.
