A significant fixture for both counties in the last decade or so. Kerry haven’t lost to Dublin in any of the years that they’ve gone on to win the All-Ireland. Recent meetings have been balanced with one draw and a big win each for their past three league matches. To date, they have both been competitive despite missing front liners. On a line through Donegal, they again look evenly matched – both losing narrowly. New players have got their opportunities, although Dublin lost David Byrne, Colm Basquel and AFL prodigal James Madden to hamstring injuries two weeks ago. However they line out, they will look to exploit the home side’s vulnerability to their defence being run at as well as defending inside the arc, as Kerry – counter-intuitively – have been a bit slow to take advantage of the two-pointers. Their attack, though, has been useful and Diarmuid O’Connor a standout at centrefield.
A fixture of significance in recent years for both Kerry and Dublin , this Sunday's clash in Austin Stack Park , Tralee , promises another exciting contest. Both sides have enjoyed competitive meetings in recent years, with a balance of outcomes, including a draw and a significant victory each for their past three league matches. This season has seen both teams maintain a competitive edge despite missing key attacking players.
While Kerry narrowly lost to Donegal, Dublin battled their way through a tough challenge, again showcasing their resilience. The recent emergence of new talent on both sides adds another layer of intrigue to the match. However, Dublin faces an uphill battle with several key players sidelined due to hamstring injuries, including David Byrne, Colm Basquel, and James Madden. Despite these setbacks, Dublin's strategy will likely remain focused on exploiting Kerry's vulnerabilities in their defense, particularly against quick runs and defending inside the arc. Interestingly, Kerry, despite their strong attacking prowess, have been somewhat slow to capitalize on two-pointer opportunities.Diarmuid O'Connor has been a standout performer for Kerry at centrefield, consistently driving the attack. Meanwhile, Derry's recent encounter with Kerry ended in a dramatic fashion, with Kerry scoring two goals in quick succession at the final whistle. Derry, known for their solid defense, seemed to falter in the closing minutes, leading to some questioning of management decisions. The performance of Paddy Tally, particularly regarding the choice of Neil McNicholl in goal, will be closely watched. Shane McGuigan shone brightly for Derry, supported by Paul Cassidy, Ethan Doherty, and Niall Toner. In the midfield, Anton Tohill and Conor Glass delivered impressive performances.Elsewhere in the league, Galway made a statement with their victory in Castlebar. Playing with renewed energy due to the absence of last year's injury woes, Galway set a new standard for accuracy, scoring seven two-pointers against Mayo, with Shane Walsh and Cillian Ó Curraoin leading the charge. Their adaptation to the new rules has been seamless, and they appear to be a team on the rise. The clash between Down and Meath promises to be another entertaining encounter. Down, despite a shaky start against Cork, mounted a strong comeback, showcasing their fighting spirit. Meath, on the other hand, will be aiming to build on their impressive performance against Cavan, though they did concede a significant number of points
