O’Shea rescues Kingdom in thriller

A POINT from a free by Colin O’Shea in the 60th minute earned Kerry a draw in a splendid All-Ireland minor football championship semi-final at Croke Park yesterday.

Mayo will have nightmares about this game. They dominated proceedings for long periods, but the county’s poor finishing came back to haunt them, and if they eventually go out of the competition, they’ll have only themselves to blame.

The Connacht champions kicked 13 wides to Kerry’s eight. The teams were level four times and in the final analysis a draw was a fair result.
