Dublin v Kerry live updates: Kerry beat Dublin to reach All-Ireland Final
Kerry defeated Dublin in the All-Ireland football semi-final, securing their place in the final against Mayo. The match was decided by key goals from Seán O’Brien and David Clifford despite a late push from the Dublin side.
Why it matters
This result determines the final matchup for the most prestigious competition in Irish intercounty football.
The couple of controversial decisions notwithstanding, Kerry’s victory over Dublin was comfortable enough towards the end. The goals from Seán O’Brien and David Clifford made the difference, and Dublin couldn’t get enough consistency up front in the second half to claw their way back into the game. Seán Moran’s match report is with us now and you can read it below.
Anyways, there’s only one game of intercounty football left this year, and it’s Kerry-Mayo in the All-Ireland final. It’s a surprise to see Andy Moran’s side at that stage in his first year at the helm; slightly less so with Jack O’Connor’s charges. Hopefully it’ll be a cracker.
