West Kerry defeated Dr. Crokes in the final of the Keane’s Super Valu County Minor Football Championship last Sunday at Austin Stack Park. The final was the curtain raiser to the County Senior Championship Semi-final between Feale Rangers and Kilcummin. This was West Kerry’s first minor championship title since 1993 and on the other hand it was heartbreaking for Dr. Crokes to lose their third successive County Minor Championship Final, losing to South Kerry in the 2005 final and to Kerins O’Rahillys in the 2006 final.
