Rampant Kerry and Jack O’Connor storm to success in the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor final

Stunning

Unstoppable.

Kerry absolutely blitzed Tipperary at Croke Park en route to a stunning Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor title success.

The Kingdom were in unforgiving mood as they swatted aside their Munster rivals with 20 points to spare.

Jack O’Connor’s men won 4-14 to 0-6 over the Premier County as they stormed to glory for what was the manager’s 10th All-Ireland title.

But O’Connor’s boys did the job on their own at headquarters in what was a merciless display.

Two first half goals from Bryan Sweeney and Conor Geaney set the tone for back-to-back titles for the Kingdom before Michael Foley hit a third and a penalty just put the gloss on a scoreline.

Mark O’Connor was awarded man of the match for Kerry who now have two-in-a-row under their belts and, as Pat Spillane reminded us, they did that in ’75 as well. And that started a decent era, didn’t it?
