ALL-IRELAND SFC SEMI-FINAL Kerry 2-8 Meath 1-7: SEMI-FINALS ARE for winning. If that was the summit of Kerry’s ambition yesterday, Jack O’Connor and his players will be happy enough.

This, however, was a scrappy and poor-quality match, which placed the progress of both teams in a less flattering context than that suggested by their quarter-final performances.
