Indeed, it was only his second shot in total, having pulled a 51st minute free wide. McBrearty had been operating on the fringes all afternoon. He touched the ball just eight times in the first half and went from the 21st to the 45th minute without being directly involved.

Jason Foley was tasked with marking McBrearty and the Kerry full back had him well marshalled, though he was helped by Tadhg Morley covering space in front.
