Kerry’s Cromane collected the Munster Junior B title at the expense of Cork’s Ballypheane in a tense and nervy contest, played at Knockaderry’s ground in Limerick.
The competition, held by the west Limerick club on an annual basis, has been dominated by Kingdom clubs, with all bar three of the 18 titles heading south. This is the second victory for Cromane, having won all the way back in 2007, while they missed out in the 2017 decider.
Ballyphehane may cite poor discipline in the tackle, conceding more than 20 frees over the hour, and crucially a three-up breach and a 50m advancement cost them scores when playing with a gale force breeze at their backs.
