In the tighter surrounds of Fr Tierney Park, Ballyshannon, Jim McGuinness's side were able to put the clamps on a Kerry forward unit who were always generally within arm's reach. But Fitzmaurice wonders if they'll be able to keep such a close eye on David Clifford, Seanie O'Shea and Co at Headquarters.
According to my research Croke Park measures 145m x 88, Ballyshhannon 145 x 87. Does one metre in width make that much of a difference? Have heard this openness time and time again.
