Malachy Clerkin sets the scene well as he always does. He writes all four teams know there is an All-Ireland on offer, if they can reach out and grab it. “Everybody was wrong about the football championship being a three-horse race. The upshot is that each of the semi-finalists are legitimate contenders for Sam Maguire.”

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the All-Ireland football semi-final between Armagh and Kerry, throw-in at 5.30pm in Croke Park. It promises to be an interesting encounter with Armagh in fine form this year in the championship, while Kerry are favourites to win outright following the departure of Dublin. Plenty of thoughts will go back to the 2002 All-Ireland final between this pair, and Oisín McConville’s famous goal. It was the only All-Ireland that Armagh have ever won, with manager Kieran McGeeney involved in that one and they will have eyes on a second one now.
