The Ulster county went on to lift the Sam Maguire Cup after both of those, but they will require one of the great Tyrone performances to topple a Kerry side who are flying high after their astonishing dismantling of Armagh in the quarter-finals.

The game was won in the third minute of the second period of extra-time when Sorcha Gormley bundled the ball across the line to give her side a four-point lead, 4-16 to 4-12, this after Aoife Horisk had edged Tyrone in front from a free.

The Kingdom victory owed much to the performance of David Clifford who scored 1-9 all in, his goal the perfect example of movement first, pace second and finally, guile. More to follow…. TWO goals in the 40th minute were the key scores that sent Kerry to a first ever All-Ireland intermediate camogie final.
