Colm Keys and Dick Clerkin joined Shane Brennan on this week’s Throw-In Football Show after a slate of round-robin clashes that saw Mayo, Dublin, Galway and Armagh all go through intensive tests.
Shane feels that Mayo had a missed opportunity, but Colm is quick to remind that Dublin are the masters of timing – as shown by their game-changers and their exquisite final point.
Meanwhile, Dick believes that Armagh are finally earning their credit, while there is confidence in Kerry despite the quality of opposition they have defeated – and to their credit, defeated well.
