KERRY will face Mayo this Saturday in the first All-Ireland senior football semi-final to be played outside Dublin since 1983. Our replay record in the All-Ireland series is, thankfully, quite good.

A good win for  Kerry yesterday but what did we learn about our title chances? Gavin O’Connor reports… 1. We’re reliant on James O’Donoghue Being reliant on a star player isn’t a bad thing, in fact many sides have been fired to glory by one talisman. Would we have won an […]
