A masterclass of green and gold

OBITUARY writers can still their pens a while longer.

Kerry handed Armagh a footballing lesson on Saturday in their All-Ireland quarter-final clash, winning by eight points to set up a rematch with Cork. They started with a bang and ended with a flourish, sending tremors through those counties with designs still on Sam Maguire.

Three minutes in, having conceded two points, veterans Darragh Ó Sé and Seamus Moynihan placed Eoin Brosnan close to goal. His handling wasn’t great but his improvised finish beat Paul Hearty and Kerry were alive.
