More than a minor matter for Kerry

Both Kerry and Tipperary have some serious questions to answer

Watching the Tipperary minors overrun their Kerry counterparts on a cold April evening just six weeks ago, we may have got a glimpse of the way things might be in the future.

Big loose-limbed Tipperary players such as Ian Fahey and Philip Quirke lording it over the boys in green and gold and dynamic wing men such as Bill Maher and Jason Lonergan riding shotgun and beguiling Kerry defenders with their purposeful running. It was clever, methodical and novel to see Tipperary beat Kerry with such panache for the second year in a row.
