Fitzmaurice’s Kingdom conundrums

Tradition and the dramatic final of two years ago have made Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final a sell-out, but it is also the truer All-Ireland semi-final as Kerry and Dublin arrive unbeaten.

And yet there are plenty of peculiarities behind Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s side and their 100% run to this stage. For instance, they have lost the second half of their last two games by five and four points respectively.

But those Jekyll and Hyde symptoms are just one aspect of this Kerry team.
