Terrific Tyrone ‘will take some stopping’

KERRY boss Pat O’Driscoll wasn’t in the mood to offer excuses after this footballing lesson at GAA headquarters. Instead he heaped the praise on Tyrone.

When asked if the absence of some key players had handicapped his side against a rampaging Tyrone he replied: “I don’t think it would have made a great difference. If we had Jack O’Shea and Pat Spillane today they wouldn’t have done. Tyrone are a fine side, as good a minor team as I’ve seen in a long time.

“They’ll take some stopping. We’ve no excuses, we couldn’t live with them.”
