What do Kerry bring to the table?
The young guns from the Kingdom are no slouches and will be aiming to knock Mayo off their perch.
Kevin Griffin has been shooting the lights out for Wayne Quillinan’s side, landing a seven-point haul in a comfortable Munster final win over Cork, while Ben Kelliher’s handsome return of five points in the last-eight tie with Cavan was pivotal as they maintain their quest for a record-extending 17th title.
Who is refereeing the game?
Cavan reiteoir Conor Dourneen will be the one taking charge of this one. Dourneen has experience with Mayo sides already this season, having taken the reins in the Mayo U-20s All-Ireland semi-final loss to Louth in Longford.
The Ballinagh clubman has also refereed at inter-county level, having taken charge of Division Two National League games earlier this year.
