Full-time.
That's full-time at Fitzgerald stadium and what a brilliant game that was.
Cork brought great purpose and intensity to proceedings early on but inspired by Sean O'Shea, Kerry showed composure to recover.
Jack O'Connor will certainly be disappointed by certain aspects of their play, though they now advance to the Munster final where they will play Waterford/Clare.
