Connor McAliskey: Past wins over Kerry mean nothing

Connor McAliskey believes that history is meaningless when it comes to Tyrone’s excellent record against Kerry in huge Championship games at Croke Park.

The barrel-chested corner-forward fired five crucial points on Saturday as the Red Hands secured an All-Ireland semi-final showdown with Kerry, a repeat of the 2005 and 2008 finals.

The August 23 encounter will also be a reprise of the 2003 semi-final when Tyrone first laid down their All-Ireland title credentials with a memorable win.
