By Gavin O’Connor A KERRY final defeat can live long in the memory, but their path to a final can be often thrown to one side. Whatever happens this Sunday, 2014 will be a year that won’t be easily forgotten. Back in February, Kerry’s odds of winning the All-Ireland went from […]

Our football columnist, Barry O’Shea, tips Kerry to just shade it on Sunday… THE week before the All-Ireland Final is not the easiest thing in the world to deal with. It was the worst part of the whole thing for me. I was always a bit edgy, I didn’t want […]

By Dermot Crean THE photos show what it means. Ogie Moran ran on to the field after the final whistle and met his son David and Kieran Donaghy. There were tears in his eyes as he embraced them and told them both how great they played. ‘Epic’ doesn’t quite cover what […]

Gavin O’Connor looks at the key questions that will be answered on Saturday in Limerick… Who will favour the six day turnaround? Coming out of Croke Park last Sunday, the feeling was that Kerry would! Given that Mayo had just put in a gruelling second half of football,  a man […]

MAYO’S mentality has changed. I know they lost two All-Irelands, but you can’t put everything down to mental frailty, sometimes you just meet a  better team. Mayo got a flying start in last year’s final and had Dublin beaten practically out the gate before Bernard Brogan got a goal. This […]

WHEN the Kerry players head off for training in Killarney over the next three weeks leading up to the game against Mayo there will be a buzz and excitement in the air. The drudgery of training earlier in the year is long behind them. As long as they are playing well and […]

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 […]
