Further goals from Micheál Burns and Barry Dan O’Sullivan before the half-time whistle extended the interval lead to 15, before a flat second half played out in front of a 13,181 crowd at Fitzgerald Stadium.

It’s Kerry’s seventh time stringing together five or more provincial titles in succession as they accounted for their 86th overall.

Kerry now enter Group 2 of the All-Ireland SFC, which begins at home to Roscommon in a fortnight before a trip to Cork and a game against the Leinster runners-up at a neutral venue.

Clare head for Group 3, starting at home to Down, then away to Monaghan, and finally facing the Leinster champions at a neutral venue.
