Fermanagh boss Dominic Corrigan backs Kerry to defeat Tyrone

Fermanagh manager Dominic Corrigan believes Kerry will defeat Tyrone in Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park.

Although the Erne County boss watched his side cut to pieces by Tyrone in the quarter-finals, he still believes that the Kingdom will have the edge.

''I don't mind going on the record in front of my Tyrone neighbours and saying that I believe Kerry will win,'' Corrigan told the Hogan Stand website.

''We'll be seeing two of the best footballing sides in the land and I expect it will be a fluent and fascinating contest, potentially the match of the year.

''Those last 15 minutes against Roscommon could be the making of the Kerry team. If Kerry had won by 10 or 15 points, as looked likely in the second-half, they would have learned nothing.

''However, Roscommon did expose weaknesses, and although the management were shaking their heads afterwards, deep down they wouldn't have been too upset.

''It gave them something to work on and I believe we'll see a different and better Kerry team at the weekend.

''Kerry weren't going to be able to answer the questions about themselves against Roscommon whatever they did, but playing Tyrone will be different.
