Kieran Duff: ‘It’s always sweeter when you beat Kerry in a final’

The man whose early goal 29 years ago proved to be the difference between Dublin and Kerry in a Division 1 final has warned another defeat for the Kingdom this Sunday will leave them “in a little rut” against their great rivals.

Kieran Duff, who was part of Paul Caffrey’s Dublin management set-up, is aware that, but for a relatively clean bill of health, Dublin may not have been so successful against Kerry in their 2011 and 2015 All-Ireland finals and 2013 semi-final.

However, he believes Dublin have the mental edge.
