Kerry set up a Munster semi-final against champions Tipperary in Semple Stadium in two weeks’ time after they defeated Clare by 17 points in Killarney on Saturday evening.
Peter Keane’s men led by nine points at the break and pushed on from there against the wind in the second half as they took their impressive league form into the championship.
Meeting for the first time since the 2019 championship when Kerry defeated Clare by 1-15 to 0-12 in Ennis, the Kingdom got off to a flying start and were one point to the good when O’Shea slotted over after just 11 seconds.
From here, Kerry pushed on and strolled into a six-point lead after 20 minutes – 0-8 to 0-2 – with O’Shea recording four of Kerry’s first five scores.
The last kick of the game made it 3-22 to 1-11 as substitute Micheál Burns blasted Kerry into the Munster SFC semi-finals.
