What a difference 70 minutes of football can make!
Widely written off before today's sensational All-Ireland SFC semi-final victory over Dublin, Jim McGuinness' side have now been installed as firm favourites to lift the Sam Maguire for the second time in three years. The 6/1 underdogs to beat Dublin have been priced at 4/6 by Boylesports to overcome Kerry's challenge in the first ever final meeting of the counties in three weeks' time.

The Kingdom are available at odds of 13/8 after yesterday's replay victory over Mayo., with 8/1 for the draw.
Interestingly, Kerry have never lost in consecutive All-Ireland final appearances (Dublin beat them in their last final appearance in 2011), while Donegal can boast a 100 per cent finals record, having emerged triumphant in their two previous appearances in 1992 and 2012.
