EXPERT VIEW: Larry Tompkins says Dublin operating on higher level then Kerry

The former All-Ireland winning Cork captain and manager can’t see past Dublin.

Kerry won the All-Ireland 12 months ago when probably it was felt by a lot of people that they weren’t going to. I noticed an awful lot of celebrations after that win, more than the usual, and I think that just showed how it came out of the blue.

We’re a year on now and the way I see it, Kerry are asking the same players to repeat something that people didn’t expect them to do in the first place last year. I think they got momentum at the right time last year and they took advantage of it.
