O’Keeffe: there’s no walking away from this team

IN the near-empty Kerry dressing-room, selector Ger O’Keeffe was calm and collected as he took stock of the game.

“We’re all very disappointed, it was one of those days when we spilled more ball than we’re used to, probably due to the Tyrone pressure. In hindsight, the tough games they had with Armagh and other teams drove them on and gave them that extra bit of strength.

“I suppose the goal they got before half-time settled them down and they went in at half-time brimful of energy - they obviously knew then that they could beat us.
