KERRY HAVE BOOKED THEIR place in an All Ireland semi final against Armagh after a strange and comfortable win over a passive Derry.

Amid a quiet and reserved atmosphere, Derry drew level with twenty minutes left through a Paul Cassidy point. With scraps breaking out all over the park at the time, it felt like the game might finally catch light.

Instead, Derry only added two more scores, one from Brendan Rogers and the final in time added on from goalkeeper Odhran Lynch.

Kerry benefitted from a strong bench with Killian Spillane scoring instantly after his introduction and Dylan Geaney adding an insurance point.

Against Armagh, they will need a good bit more from David Clifford who struggled against Christopher McKaigue, and Sean O’Shea. But such was the timidity of the Derry challenge they didn’t have to be even approaching their best here.

    He’s very creepy looking. Wikipedia says that he was shot in the jaw in WWI. Pity it wasn’t two inches higher.
