Another step up the ladder for young pretenders

All-Ireland SFC quarter-final

If the measure of a team is an ability to win by different means then Kerry will be well pleased with their efforts in the first of the summer’s All-Ireland quarter-finals.

Spectacular against Cork in the Munster final, the Kingdom leaned towards solidity on this occasion. The effect was similar, a smooth passage through to the next hurdle, though Mayo will require them to jump their best yet.
