FROM early in the year, I had Kerry as my favourites to win the All-Ireland - my reasoning being that I felt there were fewer questions around them than any of the other leading contenders. 

This was reinforced as the National League developed and they seemed to have added a meanness in defence that perhaps had been lacking previously. You’d imagine the fact they eventually overcame the Dublin obstacle - plus the resilience they had to demonstrate in doing so - would increase my confidence in them, but the closer we get to Sunday’s decider, the more I’m beginning to wonder.
