Dublin and Kerry show kicking game trumps all else at Croke Park, writes Darragh Ó Sé

In fairness, Tyrone did show some bite from the outset, mouthing into Clifford, all that kind of gnarly stuff that they do. Brought their usual physicality too. They just couldn’t back it up. Kerry were getting scores much easier, and basically had Tyrone stretched with their kicking game. Left them chasing shadows.

That kicking game essentially won the game for Dublin against Mayo too. Mayo had probably come through the physically toughest game of the championship so far, against Galway in Salthill, just the week before. They brought that kind of physicality to Croke Park, and in the early stages certainly matched Dublin.But just like Kerry, Dublin were getting their scores that bit easier.

Sometimes you see a player kick the ball and the other player just isn’t expecting it. So it’s something that has to be drilled into you over a period of time before you can start doing it in games. The best thing about Monaghan-Armagh was the penalty shoot-out, the quality of penalties in particular. Out of 20 shots, 17 were scored. Top corner, bottom corner, all ballsy penalties. It’s just unfortunate for Callum Cumiskey he ended up missing two of them.
