Mickery Harte's side take on the Kingdom for a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals with the winners to face Armagh
Mickery Harte's side take on the Kingdom for a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals with the winners to face ArmaghDerry manager Mickey Harte pictured with assistants Gavin Devlin and Paul McFlynn ahead of this afternoon's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final clash with Kerry at Croke ParkTwo of the leading protagonists in the race to claim Gaelic Football’s ultimate prize do battle this afternoon in Croke Park as Derry face Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
However, Derry have lost their Ulster crown since they last crossed swords with the Kingdom at the start of the League in Tralee. Many Derry fans believe it was one that got away as they surrendered a two-point lead inside the final 10 minutes to lose by two with Kerry falling short against Dublin in the decider.
McKaigue plays on the edge, but Joe McQuillan was quick to give the forwards the benefit of the doubt in last year’s semi-final and it will be interesting to see how David Coldrick referees today’s game.Donegal have beaten Louth 1-23 to 0-18 in the first of this afternoon's semi-finals with Eoghan Ban Gallagher scoring the game's only goal.
However, in a similar manner to the 2022 final defeat of Galway, Kerry engineered the scores when it mattered most, albeit Derry have reason to feel aggrieved at some of the frees awarded to the Kingdom in the closing stages. When push came to shove, Kerry’s key players stepped up with David Clifford scoring two second half points while Sean O’Shea hit 0-4 in the second half.Shane McGuigan 0-6 , Gareth McKinless 1-0, Brendan Rogers 0-2, Ciaran McFaul 0-2 Paul Cassidy 0-2, Odhran Lynch 0-1, Conor Doherty 0-1, Padraig McGrogan 0-1.David Clifford 0-9 , Sean O’Shea 0-4 , Gavin White 1-0, Shane Ryan 0-1, Diarmuid O’Connor 0-1, Paudie Clifford 0-1, Stephen O’Brien 0-1.
