Both teams faced tough weather conditions and it took both teams 10-15 minutes to begin to settle into this game, in Castlegregory.
After 20 minutes, scores stood at 2 points to Castle, 3 points to An Ghaeltacht.
It was an evenly contested first half, Castle 0-3 to An Ghaeltacht's 0-6 at half time.

Castle continued to push on in the second half with some attacking, and defensive moves.
In the end, Castle were narrowly edged out by 2 points, Castle 0-9 to An Ghaeltacht's 0-11.

Final
An Ghaeltacht 0-6 Daingean Ui Chuis 0-09
Dingle's trump card was in the shape of Tom O’Sullivan who may have been unfortunate in not picking up an All-Star this year but he was head and shoulders above everybody else as played as an extra forward with the wind in the opening half and then was back helping to keep An Ghaeltacht out late on.
Dingle had the wind the opening half and they kicked the opening six points, with Tom O’Sullivan four while Dylan Geaney and Darragh O’Sullivan kicked a point each. An Ghaeltacht were finding it hard to make any headway against the gale but they won two frees in the 25th and 26th minutes and Dara Ó Se converted both.
But Dingle added two more points from Tom O’Sullivan and Barry D O’Sullivan to lead 0-8 to 0-2 at the interval.
The rain disappeared and sun shone for the second half as the Three Sisters appeared but the wind never abated as Paul Geaney came on, and Dingle though adding one point in the second half from Tom O’ Sullivan in the 50th used all their experience and game management to curtail the home side.
Three points in the third quarter is all that An Ghaeltacht could manage though, one each from Dara Ó Se, Pádraig Óg Ó Sé and An Ghaeltacht’s player, Cian Ó Murchu.
Scorers for Dingle: Tom O’Sullivan (0-6, 4frees), D O’Sullivan, B O’Sullivan and D Geaney (0-1 each)
Scorers for An Ghaeltacht: D Ó Sé (0-3frees), P J Mac Láimh, P Óg Ó Sé and C Ó Murchú (0-1 each)

West Kerry Senior Football Championship 2021 was won by Dingle to complete their four in a row of titles.
Quarter-finalLios Póil0-10 Caisléan Ghriaire 2-16
A few new faces in the starting line up didn't upset the flow in Castlegregory play over in damp Lispole this afternoon.....Colm O Mahoney in at full forward raking up 1-04, Maurice O Connell with a goal and 3 points and the every industrious Brandon Hoare with a couple of well crafted scores. Cian O Grady, back in the starting 15, he too brought the scoring boots with 3 long range scores and points a piece for Anto Kelliher, Alan Fitz, Patrick O Donoghue and a fine point too for Mike Scanlon after a surging run from the half back line. Always in control Castlegregory GAA will be happy with this performance as build up to the semi-final v An Ghaeltacht. Lios Póil were best served by Cathal O Sullivan at full forward, Matthew Grfffin and Gareth Noonan
Semi-final 1 - Abha Na Scáil 0-05 Daingean Uí Chúis 1-15
In the first semi-final, Dingle were comfortable winners against Annascaul in the Paddy Kennedy Memorial Park last Saturday.
A goal inside the opening five minutes for Paul Geaney set the town side on their way and from there they never really looked back. Dingle led 1–10 to 0–3 at half-time with the rate of scoring slowing down for both sides in the second half, albeit that Dingle managed to extend their advantage by a further two points at the finish for a thirteen-point success.
Semi-final 2 - Caisléan Ghriaire 1-06 An Ghaeltacht 2-04
The second semi-final was a much more competitive affair with An Gaeltacht squeaking out a single point success on the road.
A first half goal for Castlegregory's Maurice O’Connell gave Castle a fighting chance and they carried a lead at the break 1–5 to 0–2.
Second half goals from Shane Ó Grifín and Pádraig Óigí Ó Sé helped turn the tide, however, and An Ghaeltacht advanced to the decider with their great rivals.
. Final - Daingean Uí Chúis 2-12 An Ghaeltacht 0-05
Dingle secured their fourth West Kerry Championship in a row when they overpowered neighbours An Ghaeltacht at Páirc an Ághasaigh on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts started off on the front foot straight from throw-in, as Matthew Flaherty finished off a fine Dingle move, a point that set the tone for the opening exchanges.
The big reward for their industrious start in the trying conditions came in the fourth minute as Paul Geaney found the onrushing Darragh O’Sullivan who finished calmly to open up a five-point margin between the sides.
Éanna Ó Conchúir was working hard to get on the ball and opened up the Gaeltacht account nine minutes in, bringing the game to life, but that suited Dingle. They upped their game and the gulf in class became evident.
The free-flowing Dingle forwards combined well with points coming from Dylan and Conor Geaney before their cousin, Paul rose highest over Kerry teammate Brian Ó Beaglaoich to gather the ball before finding the bottom corner to give Dingle a 2–4 to 0–1 lead after 18 minutes.
Gaeltacht kept battling but the final ball often eluded them. Pádraig Óg Ó Sé popped up with a fine point from the half-back line but it was only a dent in the Dingle lead, leaving a nine-point gap at the interval.
It was more of the same after the break as Dingle had the majority of possession. Their freshly crowned All-Star Tom O’Sullivan saw little of the ball in the full-back line and that speaks volumes about this Dingle performance.
