Kerry on Collision Course as Dubs Refuse to Be Shackled

Dessie Farrell’s team from Dublin is set to face Monaghan in the semi-final, while Kerry will take on Derry in the other match. This ensures that the two powerhouse teams, Dublin and Kerry, will not face each other until the final. In accordance with the no repeat pairings rule, Derry and Monaghan were unable to be drawn together, resulting in Monaghan facing Dublin and Kerry facing Derry. The dates and times for these matches will be confirmed by the GAA.

Dublin showcased a remarkable second-half performance against Mayo, reminiscent of their impressive form in the 2019 All-Ireland final replay. Leading by only a point at halftime, Dublin dominated the third quarter, similar to their victories over Mayo in 2019 and 2020. Manager Dessie Farrell had confidence in his team’s ability to step up in the crucial third quarter and was pleased with their performance.

Whilst cautious about the potential fatigue of Mayo, Farrell acknowledged that playing three consecutive weekends took a toll on them. Mayo’s manager, Kevin McStay, did not use fatigue as an excuse for their performance, but acknowledged the challenges they faced due to their loss to Cork disrupting their schedule.

As Mayo reflects on their season, which ended with another quarter-final exit, there will be a need for evaluation and planning for the future. Despite the disappointment, McStay recognized the progress they made and the challenges they encountered in the championship.

In an earlier match, Derry secured their place in the semi-finals for the second year in a row with a 1-12 to 1-8 victory over Cork.
