A “no-brainer” of a free was Kerry boss Wayne Quillinan’s verdict on the series of late challenges Ben Kelliher was subjected to that brought about no equalising placed-ball attempt.

The four allotted minutes of injury-time had come and gone when Kelliher was fed in the left corner. Elliott Kerr was first to tackle him, the Tyrone corner-back approaching from behind and wrapping both hands around the Kerry corner-forward.
