An Ghaeltacht (Kerry) 4-18
Cill na Martra (Cork) 1-11
An Ghaeltacht were crowned Comortas Peile na Gaeltachta champions for the first time since 1999 when they comfortably accounted for 14-man Cill na Martra at a rainy Tourmakeady, Co. Mayo this afternoon.
Former Cork star Noel O'Leary received a straight red card for a dangerous neck-high tackle on Cian O Murchu late in the first half as a brace of goals from corner forward Tomas O Se helped the West Kerry men to victory. Recently-retired Kerry defender Marc O Se lined out at centre back and also co-managed the winners whose backroom team also included former All-Ireland winning captain Dara O Cinneide. Dara Ó Sé and PJ Mac Láimh also found the net for the winners.
Kerry 2014 All-Ireland minor winner Tomas O Se starred for An Ghaeltacht.
Cill na Martra had beaten the holders Naomh Conaill of Donegal in yesterday's semi-final, but couldn't live with a slick An Ghealtacht outfit who had built up a 2-10 to 0-5 lead by half-time.
