Remarkably, Tyrone and Kerry did not lock horns in the championship arena until the 1986 All-Ireland final. They have since met eight times in the GAA's showpiece competition. Overall, Kerry lead 5-4 and won the last encounter convincingly, beating the Red Hands 2-18 to 0-12 in the 2023 quarter-finals.

The Kingdom victory owed much to the performance of David Clifford who scored 1-9 all in, his goal the perfect example of movement first, pace second and finally, guile. More to follow…. TWO goals in the 40th minute were the key scores that sent Kerry to a first ever All-Ireland intermediate camogie final.
