North Kerry SFC Final: Listowel Emmets must be favourites, but Knocknagoshel can make fools of us again

We were as close to certain as you can be that we had this one sussed.

Knocknagoshel, brave, plucky Knocknagoshel had given it their best shot, performed really admirably in the first half, carried a lead at the break, yet here they were staring down a ten-point deficit midway through the second half. Stick a fork in it, it was done.
