  • Tyrone's Rising Potential

    Speaking exclusively to BoyleSports, the former Armagh and Crossmaglen Rangers star said: "Tyrone’s potential is not in doubt for me, and you can see it in what they’re doing. They’re All-Ireland minor champions, they’re All-Ireland u20 champions so you know the conveyor belt is there.

    "Throughout the county, you’d have to think there’s a huge wave of positivity and if there’s one team that seem like they grow ten feet tall after a couple of good results, it is Tyrone.

    "But they’re still not at that level that they’d like to be at. “I see at times individual brilliance but I’m not seeing the whole collective package from them just yet.

    "They have quality man markers, the key midfield and brilliance up front, but they haven’t found the right balance in knitting it all together."

    Kerry Favourites For A Reason

    "Kerry were comfortable in the league, a bit up and down and never really set the world alight in the Munster or All-Ireland championships, but it’s been hanging in the back of my head, Kerry is Kerry," Kernan added.

    "They haven’t won the most All-Irelands for no reason, there’s a hunger, there’s a desire, there’s a responsibility within that county that whenever you get that jersey, you must man-up and the best place to do it, is in Croke Park.

    "What we saw from them, particularly in the second half against Armagh, was that hunger and drive. You could see it in the body language and that leads me to believe that they’re a team that’s hell-bent on a mission.

    "They stick to the script, they’re relentless in doing what’s best for the team and I think they’ll just have enough and book their place in the final."
