Kerry have started their Ladies Munster Senior Football Championship campaign with a victory.
The Kingdom beat Tipperary 2-14 to 5 points at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney.
2 points from Danielle O'Leary were only scores of the opening 8 minutes.
After Tipp halved the deficit O'Leary put over again to leave the Kingdom two clear midway through the half.
Kerry soon registered their 4th wide of the encounter. Then again, a Tipp point was followed by an O'Leary point. That made it double scores after 20 minutes at 4 to 2.
Danielle O'Leary put the Kingdom 3 clear but successive Tipp points cut the gap to 1 approaching the half hour mark.
An opportunistic Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh goal after a turnover, aided by the fact the Tipp keeper was out of her goal, put Kerry 4 clear. The Kingdom led at half-time by 1-5 to 0-4.
Points by Ciara O'Brien, Danielle O'Leary and Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh extended the Kerry lead to 7 within 13 minutes of the second period.
It was 21 minutes into the half before Tipp scored in the half. That made it 1-10 to 0-5.
Kerry had the next two points before Emma Dineen scored a second goal of the afternoon for the Kingdom 5 minutes from time.
Danielle O'Leary registered her 8th point of the game before the end.
