Red Hands dig deepest

Tyrone 1-16 Kerry 2-10

It was how they calmly came to terms with their inadequacies and Kerry’s dominant play for most of the first half and then came back so strongly.

Their more demanding campaign assisted them considerably in mounting a winning challenge given huge impetus by Peter Canavan’s classic goal just before the break and later on by outstanding defence, crucial in limiting the threat from Colm Cooper.
