Target Kerry’s old guard, says Brian McGuigan

Former Tyrone forward Brian McGuigan has ratcheted up the heat ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final by claiming Kerry’s two 35-year-old defenders should be targeted.

Aidan O’Mahony is named on the bench but McGuigan believes running hard at him and Marc Ó Sé, both enjoying fine form at the moment, could reap serious dividends for the underdogs as they aim to reach their first final since beating Kerry seven years ago.

The Ardboe man is no stranger to antagonising Kerry having claimed after the 2012 game in which he was sent off that Declan O’Sullivan had exaggerated an injury to have him dismissed. In 2013, he said Kerry should concentrate on the long term as advances in Gaelic football had passed them by.
