I’ll hold my hand up. I’ve been critical of this Kerry team in the past, but I always felt I was entitled to pose those questions when they couldn’t close out matches that were within their grasp. Now that my hand is up, I’ll extend it for a collective acknowledgement – fair play to Kerry. They got the job done here in impressive fashion.

Kerry have passed the final test, which wasn’t really about defeating Galway – if you know what I mean; it was just about getting over the line. They looked like an unstoppable force that would not be halted from fulfilling their destiny and completing what everyone in the county expected them to do. They were the better team. Kerry had the better squad. And the longer the game went on, the more they were going to win by.
