Lot of wides from Kerry keeping Kildare's hopes alive.
Was wondering what part of Kerry the ref was from at one stage....

I thought the ref was OK overall even if he dId give a couple of soft ones to both sides. Not an influence on the scoreline for me.

Kerry look like a very good side, they have been strong at minor/Hogan cup level now for a few years.

Kerry scored 6 points from 6 since the start of the 2nd half.

Really turning it on now.

Super take and pass for the goal. Game over unfortunately

Goal put the tin hat on it. Game over.

Kerry with a 12 point lead with 18 minutes left.

Final v Galway should be a cracker

Scary times ahead with these great kerry minor teams.

That kerry team will be far to strong for Galway

How's Clifford playing?
I only really saw him in action back in the Hogan final but he looked to have all the tools.

When the Kildare forwards got good quick ball they had the Kerry backs in a bit of bother. Kerry backs looked far more comfortable dealing with slower ball. Galway were very good at getting fast ball into their forwards against Donegal.

By the looks of it, they'd beat the pick of the other three semi finalists.

Really good caught a lovely ball for the Kerry goal. As you say seems to have all the attributes.

Depressing enough - started well but as soon Kerry took control of midfield our inside line were starved and what little ball we had delivery was poor and too many mistakes. Plan A of our kick out strategy was go long Plan B was see Plan A. Midfield was always a worry but Kerry's middle 8 just dominated us. These two semi defeats in a row just feeds into our fragile pysch and the cycle continues.

Kildare went to pices completely though. Torally lost any semblance of a defensive shape.

It's always disappointing to lose at this stage but you'll get a few nice prospects from this team.

Some scoring from Kerry in the quarter and semi final. 24 points against Derry. 26 against Kildare (and not over yet).
