Seanie O'Shea and David Clifford combined for 0-19 in the Armagh game. It's not out of the ordinary: Clifford (7-44) and O'Shea (1-41) have accounted for more than half of Kerry's championship haul this year.

All four of Tyrone’s All-Ireland titles involved victories over Kerry with semi-final wins in 2003 and 2021 and in the memorable finals of 2005 and 2008. Tyrone are also a rising force having won three All-Ireland U20 titles in the last four years while, just last weekend, their minors beat Kerry in the All-Ireland final.

One of the big rivalries from the noughties gets another outing today as Kerry and Tyrone go head-to-head for a place in football’s showpiece.
