Offaly v Down (6.00)4 minutes agoKerry are going to have to disrupt the pattern of this game somehow. Donegal are just holding onto the ball until a shooting chance presents itself. Langan does the honours this time and Donegal are seven ahead.44 mins: Donegal 1-13 Kerry 0-96 minutes agoBoos from the Kerry crowd every time Michael Murphy gets the ball. Chants of Donegal-Donegal-Doengal in response from the visiting crowd. Donegal are patient, making Kerry chase them and finding Gallen to finish it off. This could be a long half hour for the home side.39 mins: Donegal 1-12 Kerry 0-98 minutes agoAnd we’re back at it. Kerry have the wind but they’re down to 14 men. Graham O’Sullivan makes a hames of a good early chance to cut the margin. Five in it. 37 mins: Donegal 1-11 Kerry 0-913 minutes agoDonegal come out at last. Huge chorus of boos. McHugh hasn’t come back on. Hurson has given the two managers a big dressing down. Evan Looney gets yellow, which seems a strange one to pick out. Burns gets red! He can have no complaint.15 minutes agoKerry are back out. Donegal are still in the dressing room. No move from the referee yet.26 minutes agoAll eyes on the referee now. Jim McGuinness went after Diarmuid O’Connor in the middle of all that, clearly fuming at the fact that McHugh has been split open. GAA+ have footage that seems to show the Micheál Burns was more at fault. What will Hurson do? 36 minutes agoHalf-time: Donegal 1-11 Kerry 0-9Mayhem as the teams go off at the break. David Clifford nailed the Donegal keeper Mulreaney after the hooter went and then there were skirmishes all over the place. One of theDOnegal players - Ryan McHugh maybe? - has blood streaming down his face. Jim McGuinness and Kieran Donaghy are nose to nose. Everybody gets down the tunnel safe and sound but it will be interesting to see if Sean Hurson takes any action after the break.40 minutes agoWith both Cliffords getting bottled up here, Dylan Geaney is having to step up. That’s his third of the day, off his left this time. 31 mins: Donegal 1-10 Kerry 0-942 minutes agoOisin Gallen kicked Donegal’s first wide a couple of minutes ago but he’s made amends now, a cracking kick from the right hand side. That’s a five-point lead for Donegal again.30 mins: Donegal 1-10 Kerry 0-8 47 minutes agoIt’s all getting a bit ratty around the place here. David Clifford and Caolán McGonagle had a bit of a skirmish, Paudie Clifford and Roarty are thick as thieves. Sean Hurson tells them all to get on with it. Great stuff. 50 minutes agoAnd that’s another score for Geaney, a lovely shake-and-bake from a tight angle and a gorgeous finish. But Langan hits back at the other end, landing a bomb of a two-pointer from just inside the Kerry 45. 25 mins: Kerry 0-8 Donegal 1-8 52 minutes agoKerry are fairly content to build up slowly here, knowing that the onus is on Donegal to build a score with the wind at their backs. Dylan Geaney finishes that one, finding space just between the arcs.22 mins: Kerry 0-7 Donegal 1-656 minutes agoThe best thing to watch off the ball here is Paudie Clifford v Finbarr Roarty. The young Donegal dervish isn’t giving the elder Clifford an inch, whather the ball is there or not. Tadhg Morley takes advantage of a little space inside to get up for a score, set up by Sean O’Brien. But Donegal hit back with a lovely score for Ciarán Moore.19 mins: Kerry 0-6 Donegal 1-61 hour agoKerry have recovered from that brilliant start for Donegal but that’s a fine score from Gallen. He was double-marked along the endline but wriggled through to squeeze it over the bar. 14 mins: Kerry 0-5 Donegal 1-51 hour agoIt’s all action now. Ryan McHugh swishes a gorgeous two-pointer but Kerry hit back with three wuick scores. Both Clifford score from play before Gavin Munreaney is pinged for taking too long over a kick-out and David Clifford ices the free. 10 mins: Donegal 1-4 Kerry 0-51 hour agoOisín Gallen puts over a lovely two-pointer for Donegal.Kerry hold possession to settle themselves and eventually launch Micheál Burns who takes their opening score of the day.6 mins: Kerry 0-1 Donegal 1-21 hour agoGoal for Donegal. Ciarán Moore slots home after a wide for Kerry down the other end.3 mins: Kerry 0-0 Donegal 1-01 hour agoHere we go, the 2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is officially under way.Sean Hurson is on the whistle.1 hour agoSome quick predictions before throw-in.Paddy Andrews tips Donegal, as does Patrick McBrearty (albeit after some soul-searching), and Stefan Campbell thinks Kerry will take it after extra-time.We’ll see about that.1 hour agoOf the Donegal changes, Shane O’Donnell will be a big miss if he’s injured. It may well be that Jim McGuinness has just decided to go with size around the middle - having Magee and Langan maybe points to them seriously going after Shaen Murphy’s kick-outs. But O’Donnell generally plays when he’s fit so that will be one to keep an eye on.1 hour agoAll eyes on the late changes for both sides. Big news is that Michael Langan starts. So does Oisin Gallen, Jason Magee and under-20 star Max Campbell. For Kerry, as expected, Paudie Clifford starts and Sean O’Brien comes in as well. 3 hours agoThe first game of the All-Ireland series and it’s a biggie - Kerry v Donegal in Killarney. Throw-in is at 3pm and there’s already a hefty crowd in sun-drenched Killarney. Kerry playing in blue today.
