Michael Foley had a great description for the slippery conditions in today's All-Ireland MFC semi-final.

The corner forward, who scored 1-3 in Kerry's win over Derry, told TG4: "It was like playing in soap. The ball was slippy, the grass was slippy. You could lose your footing very easily."

The man of the match was delighted with the Kingdom's response to Derry's first half goal and was also eager to spread the praise around.

"It's all about how tough your mental strength is. We proved against Cork whatever comes at us we can keep coming back.

"It was a team performance - from one to 15," he added.
