Kerry won their fifth consecutive Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Football Championship title after a superb game against Galway at Croke Park.

The Kingdom came from behind to claim the Tom Markham Cup.

Kerry emerged winners after 66 minutes of action on a scoreline of 0-21 to 1-14.

After a decent start for Peter Keane's side, they trailed Galway by seven points at one stage in the second half.

A goal from Tony put Galway ahead 1-7 to 0-4.

Kerry managed to reel that Galway lead in before the break through two points from Man of the Match Killian Falvey along with one each by midfielder Darragh Rahilly and Brosna's Paul Walsh.
