Cavan win sent Kerry on road to redemption

Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final game between Kerry and Cavan will be the first championship clash between the counties since their 1997 semi-final meeting.

While Kerry won 1-17 to 1-10 and then beat Mayo in the final, things were far from smooth in the build-up for the Kingdom as they battled to end an 11-year title famine.

“There would have been a big element of pressure, because of the way we had collapsed against Mayo in the 1996 semi-final,” Kerry great Séamus Moynihan recounted of the clash.
