Mayo played catch up from practically the first kick of a ball and had goalkeeper Rory Byrne to thank for keeping them in the game, after he made two excellent first half saves from Paudie Clifford. Gavin White’s first half goal after an excellent break was emblematic of The Kingdom’s co-ordinated attacking play.

Jack O'Connor has enjoyed an excellent start to his second spell in charge of Kerry, and will be hoping to pick up some silverware today with the All Ireland Championship looming. Having beaten Dublin comfortably the last time they were in the capital, James Horan's men are looking to pick up another big victory at HQ, a feeling that should stand to them in the latter stages of this summer's championship. Perennial contenders Mayo find themselves back in another final at Croke Park with a point to prove.

The culmination of an exciting National Football League proved underwhelming at Croke Park, with Kerry easing to victory over Mayo, ending 3-19 to 0-13.

In the 66th minute, with the Kingdom already 10 points to the good, Clifford took the second goal of the game, before Jason Foley added to Mayo's woes with a third in additional time. Earlier, in the Division 2 final, Roscommon took a 1-20 to 0-22 win over Galway, with Diarmuid Murtagh providing the vital goal in additional time. Maintaining that three-point deficit to the 25th minute, Mayo's defence then crumbled in the face of a hectic attack, ending in a palmed goal from Gavin White.

1-6 for David Clifford as Kerry cruise to 23rd League title (Irish Examiner)

Kerry's first national final victory in five years and first win in Croke Park since 2019.

Conor Loftus cut Mayo’s deficit to four in the 33rd minute but David Clifford and Shane Ryan concluded the scoring in the first half. He offloaded to Paul Geaney whose shot was half-blocked by Byrne and hung long enough in the air for White to finish to the net although he took a heavy hit in doing so. They had a couple of goal opportunities too, Paudie Clifford stopped by Rory Byrne in the fifth minute and David Clifford whistled for a square ball four minutes later. James Carr picked up off the first of two first-half points soon after but Mayo were already chasing. However, they had little else to cheer as David Clifford and Paul Geaney shredded their defence, the latter roasting Pádraig O’Hora for a coup de grace goal in the 66th minute. Kerry’s first national final victory in five years and first win in Croke Park since 2019 came with relative ease this afternoon. Kerry’s first national final victory in five years and first win in Croke Park since 2019 came with relative ease this afternoon. The margin was as much as seven but was reduced to six when Byrne again stopped Paudie Clifford in the 32nd minute. The difference was three points when Gavin White palmed in the first goal of the game in the 24th minute, the wing-back initially breaking three tackles to engineer the move. All of the starting Kerry attack had scored from play by the 49th minute and Jason Foley added a late goal after Tony Brosnan’s shot was parried in his direction.

Five weeks away from Cork, Kerry were always going to be able to attack this game easier than Mayo whose championship opener against Galway falls two weeks ...

Leading 1-10 to 0-7 at the turnaround, O’Connor wanted Kerry to dictate the pace of the game in the second period. He offloaded to Geaney whose shot was half-blocked by Byrne and hung long enough in the air for White to finish to the net although he took a heavy hit in doing so. It said a lot about Kerry’s desire and the lack of it in their opponents. In that period, David Clifford scored a majestic point from each side of the field into the Hill 16 End goal. However, kick-outs do remain a concern and the identity of the goalkeeper for May 7 remains a question. James Carr picked up off the first of two first-half points soon after but Mayo were already chasing. As for the processional feel in the closing stages, O’Connor wasn’t complaining. That they subjected fellow All-Ireland contenders to such a trouncing will make it that bit sweeter but they won’t be losing the run of themselves. Alongside Dublin’s mauling of Derry in 2014, this 15-point victory of Kerry’s will stand proudly at least on paper. Alongside Dublin’s mauling of Derry in 2014, this 15-point victory of Kerry’s will stand proudly at least on paper. After a fine league campaign, Diarmuid O’Connor wasn’t influential here but the labour of Dara Moynihan and Adrian Spillane around him compensated. Yet the numerical advantage meant little as Kerry outscored them 0-4 to 0-1 in the following 11 minutes, their only score the Ryan O’Donoghue free for the O’Connor infringement.
