Peter Keane: Kerry’s June drubbing of Tyrone ‘not reflective of the day’

Peter Keane has insisted that Kerry’s six-goal demolition of Tyrone in the Allianz League back in June will have no bearing on Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final meeting.

Kerry put 6-15 on the board against the Red Hands in that Division 1 semi-final tie, winning by 16 points, though Tyrone would go on to record Championship wins over Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan to claim the Ulster title.
