Jack O’Connor pointed to the school of thought that Kerry’s midfield has been at sea since David Moran’s retirement but Diarmuid O’Connor is choosing to ignore it.

At his post-match press conference on Saturday evening, O’Connor brought up the subject unprompted. “Look, there's no one harder on Kerry, than our own people like, you know. I mean, the narrative all year is that we don't have a midfield, you know. We thought the two boys did really well out there today. And if people write us off a bit, sure we're only delighted with that.”
