Farrell hails ‘inspirational’ display by Byrne

Dessie Farrell hailed “inspirational” full-back David Byrne as Dublin held off a Kerry comeback to take their place in the All-Ireland MFC final.

Leading by two points in the 54th minute, Byrne made a vital interception to deny Kerry a certain goal.

“It was vital, a great interception and it’s inspirational moments like it that matches are won and lost on,” said Dubsmanager Farrell. “We’re very thankful for David in that situation. But you’d expect that from him too.”
