The Ulster county went on to lift the Sam Maguire Cup after both of those, but they will require one of the great Tyrone performances to topple a Kerry side who are flying high after their astonishing dismantling of Armagh in the quarter-finals.

All four of Tyrone’s All-Ireland titles involved victories over Kerry with semi-final wins in 2003 and 2021 and in the memorable finals of 2005 and 2008. Tyrone are also a rising force having won three All-Ireland U20 titles in the last four years while, just last weekend, their minors beat Kerry in the All-Ireland final.
