There was provincial joy for Templenoe, Dungourney and Curraha on Sunday.
The three won their respective junior club titles and will have All-Ireland campaigns to look forward to in the New Year.
Kerry's Templenoe, the club of the famous Spillane family, steamrolled Coolmeen of Clare in the Munster decider.
The Spillanes were part of the great Kingdom sides of the seventies and eighties and the family's finger-prints were all over this win.
Tom sons Killian and Adrian started, with Pat junior on the bench and their cousin John at centre-back.
Danny Cahalane got a goal just after half-time to set them on their way to a comprehensive 2-17 to 0-3 win.
Pat came on in the second half and got on the score-sheet having spent Friday and Saturday in Dublin at the AFL combine in the hope of earning an Aussie Rules contract.
Dungourney of Cork took the Munster junior hurling crown with a convincing win 1-17 to 0-8 over Fenor.
The sides were level at 0-5 apiece in Mallow, but a Jack Griffin goal shortly after the break sent them on their way to a 12-point win over their Waterford opponents.
At Pearse Park, St Brigid’s Kilashee were hoping to become the first Longford club to win the Leinster junior crown and they were in reasonable shape at the break.
They trailed Meath’s Curraha by just one point, 0-6 to 1-4, though the men from the Royal County hit two more goals in the second half to run out comfortable 3-10 to 1-11 winners.
