An Ghaeltacht continued the All-Ireland success for Kerry clubs, beating Glenullin in the final of the Intermediate championship, a day after Ballymacelligott beat Clogher in the Junior final.
It makes it 12 wins for Kingdom clubs in the junior competition since it began in 2001, with Galway sides the next best with three titles.
And it's a similar story at intermediate, which has seen Kerry teams helping themselves to eight wins since 2003, with Tyrone the next best with three.

With such few sides at senior despite the size and strength of the county, it leaves top teams playing at intermediate and junior level.
