Kerry failed to take their chances in the Pat O'Brien Cup in Boston on Sunday afternoon going down to rivals Cork by a scoreline of Cork 1-7 to Kerry 0-3. Cork got off to a flying start with Mike Moynihan finding the Kerry next after 2 minutes. Kerry had at least three goal chance in the half shooting straight at the Cork goalie. This coupled with 3 poor wides left Kerry trailing at the half 1-6 to 0-1. Cork scores came from Mike Moynihan 1-2, Johnny Crowley 0-2, Lar Barden 0-1, Colm Clafferty 0-1. Kerrys only score came from David Clifford.

Kerry held Cork to only a single point in the second half but only scored 2 points themselves. Ian Whelan had 1 point and David Clifford had the other point while another goal bound shot from Chirs O'Connor was saved at close range by the Cork goalie. A disappointing afternoon for Kerry who got a bye in the first round.
