Peter Keane says Kerry paid the price for not putting Cork away in their shock Munster SFC semi-final defeat.

And the Kingdom boss said his players would have to "suck it up" after Mark Keane's last-gasp goal in extra-time condemned them to a shock championship exit.

"When you are hanging on like that, it is always dangerous for a goal and that is what happened to us. We are obviously disappointed," he told RTÉ.

"We'll just have to look at ourselves really. We had plenty of opportunities and just didn't put them away. Ball-retention and maybe a little bit of game-management towards the end [was lacking]. That is just something we have to go and learn from.

"We were two up and had chances to go further up, if not mind the ball.

"It happens and it happened us so we just have to suck it up, get on with it and congratulate Cork and wish them well for the rest of the year."
