QUOTE ME ON THAT
“Jesus I don't know lads. Tis tough going. Tis tough on the heart. I'll tell you that was tough going there near the end.”
Kerry manager Jack O’Connor when asked if this was what he came back for.
STAR MAN - David Clifford (Kerry)
May not have been as prominent when Kerry began treading water but was still unplayable for much of the afternoon and almost put them completely out of Dublin’s reach.
AN OTHER - James McCarthy (Dublin)
The ultimate warrior. Made light of recent injury problems to carry the team through much of the game, kicked a massive score when Kerry threatened to pull clear again late on.
