The Ulster county went on to lift the Sam Maguire Cup after both of those, but they will require one of the great Tyrone performances to topple a Kerry side who are flying high after their astonishing dismantling of Armagh in the quarter-finals.

Jack O'Connor will manage Kerry in a seventh senior final later this month while Malachy O'Rourke felt his side struggled to win frees in Saturday's semi-final defeat

The Kingdom victory owed much to the performance of David Clifford who scored 1-9 all in, his goal the perfect example of movement first, pace second and finally, guile. More to follow…. TWO goals in the 40th minute were the key scores that sent Kerry to a first ever All-Ireland intermediate camogie final.
