Tony Leen - Kerry ratings Shane Ryan (Rathmore) The life and strife of a keeper. Won’t be remembered for a super 30th minute save from Andrew Murnin, but for the fatal spill that gave Armagh their goal and route back into the semi-final. A bit stuttering on restarts too.
5 Paul Murphy (Rathmore) You’d have got long odds on the Rathmore man being Kerry’s sole goalscorer. Put in an energetic shift, missed a late chance at a point that he snatched at – he wasn’t alone in that respect. Held Conaty and/or Grugan well.
6.5 Jason Foley (Ballydonoghue) Cramped up and missed one of the key chances for Kerry in extra time – the episodes are probably linked. Eventually had to retire with same.
For the most part, handled Andrew Murnin well in the round. 6 Tom O’Sullivan (Dingle) Like his keeper, may be remembered more for the goal chances he blew wide (or was it blocked?) at the beginning of the second half than his defensive play – though Conor Turbitt did kick a couple of scores from play. Armagh had him well clocked too offensively.
6 Briain O Beaglaoich (Gaeltacht) Got turned over more than once, a noteworthy trait of the winners that is inextricably linked to the involvement of Kieran Donaghy. Like his colleagues, moved seamlessly through the gears in the first period, but his influence waned considerably after the break. 6 Tadhg Morley (Templeoe) Played all 90 minutes, which was remarkable, but Armagh’s ability to score from distance left him occasionally between .
