THE look of exasperation afterwards on Jack O’Connor’s face had little to do with the underwhelming first half effort from his Kerry players, or even the yellow card the manager picked up after half time.

His frustration, along with that of his Cork counterpart John Cleary, centred on the new clean catch or 'mark' interference rule, which had a considerable influence on Kerry’s eleven point victory over Cork.
