Kerry 4-26

Sligo 0-8

Kerry will face Derry in the All-Ireland U21HC 'B' final in two weeks' time after accounting for Sligo in a one-sided semi-final at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe.

Ian Brick's charges dominated from start to finish. Shane Conway scored the opening goal in the 24th minute to make it 1-10 to 0-4 before tagging on a pair of points. Maurice O'Connor followed up with another goal to leave the Kingdom perched on a 2-13 to 0-4 lead at the break.

It continued to be one-way traffic after the break when a flurry of scores from Michael Leane, Brandon Barrett, Niall O'Mahony, Jack Sullivan and Jason Diggins added gloss to the scoreline.

Derry were 3-16 to 3-14 winners over Meath in the other semi-final in Trim yesterday.
