26/09/2004 Congratulations to Eamon Fitzmaurice and Paul Galvin from Ballinclogher Lixnaw who both played a major part when Kerry won their 33rd All-Ireland final against Mayo on a scoreline of 1-20 to 2-09 in Croke Park earlier today. John Maughan's men couldn't capitalise on an early Alan Dillon goal as Kerry, playing a mixture of traditional long-ball and foot-passing football and the more modern style of football played to such lethal effect by Tyrone and Armagh, were far too strong for the Connacht champions. Jack O'Connor's men were not expected to have such an easy win as they were missing the hugely influential Daragh Ó Sé and Seamus Moynihan through injury. Moynihan, who was on the bench, did come on towards the end of the game. 26/09/2004
