An Ghaeltacht (Kerry) 3-21
St Senan's (Limerick) 0-8

Player-manager Marc Ó Sé steered An Ghaeltacht to a 22-point victory over St. Senan's in a one-sided Munster club IFC final at Austin Stack Park, Tralee. 

The Kerry legend's namesake Dara Ó Sé shot 0-9, 0-7 from play, as the 2004 All-Ireland club SFC runners-up became the 10th Kerry team in 11 years to claim provincial honours at this level.

The writing was on the wall for their Limerick opponents when Kerry panellist Brian Ó Beaglaoich netted after only two minutes. Rob Ó Sé grabbed a second goal in the 27th minute to give An Ghaeltacht an unassailable 2-14 to 0-2 lead at half-time.

PJ Mac Laimh fisted home a third goal midway through the second half to complete a wonderful year for Comortas Peile na Gaeltachta champions An Ghaeltacht who will face Sean Cavanagh's Moy in a mouth-watering All-Ireland semi-final in the New Year.
