Kerry play Armagh tomorrow at 5.30pm, while it’s Galway against Donegal at 4pm on Sunday.
Armagh have upped their scoring this year and Conor Turbitt has spearheaded the charge. The Clann Éireann attacker snatched his starting place at the outset of 2024 and has maintained it since. He landed 2-31 in the league and has since compiled 3-18 in the championship.
It’s not just a matter of brushing up on penos after training. They need to find a way to shut the door on opponents before such sudden-death scenarios are called for. When they go into their shell, they keep games tight but don’t work the scoreboard enough. They need to keep utilising their spread of forwards while trusting their defensive structure to stay solid at the back.Peadar Mogan’s incredible five-point haul from wing-back will have him top of the Galway watch list in the semi-finals.
Apart from that Leeside shock, their defence has kept shutouts in their other six championship games so if they can cut down on white flags, they should have learned the lessons from that day in Cork.Who else? If David Clifford’s misses dominated the analysis of Kerry’s All-Ireland defeat last year, his scores will take the headlines should the two-time Footballer of the Year get them over the line. Not that Clifford has to do all the scoring.
Can Kerry find their spark this late in the season? Or will they persist with this game plan to hold off Armagh? It’s not that Kerry can’t produce all the right answers at the right time but just the uncertainty over whether they will do so when the questions are asked.Among their galaxy of returning stars, Cillian McDaid has been the dynamo that has helped Galway to find top gear.
