Kerry every bit as physical as Armagh, says Tierney

FORMER Armagh keeper Benny Tierney believes the winners of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final will face a different Kerry in the final.

Tierney is part of Joe Kernan’s backroom team as they prepare to face great rivals Tyrone for the third time this season. But whoever emerges from the Battle of Ulster at Croke Park knows a beefed up Kingdom will await them.

Tierney understands how Kerry would feel they owe each of the two counties something after having lost to them in 2002 and 2003.
