1986 Kerry's final world

Posted by Editor
Sunday 21 September 1986

Kingdom pull back Tyrone's seven point lead.

Kerry's final world

Eugene McKenna dominated the first half for Tyrone as they raced into the three-point lead at the break of teh All-Ireland final. When Damien O’Hagan plundered a goal at the start of the second period it seemed as if the underdogs were going to produce one of the greatest All-Ireland final shocks. When Kevin McCabe nudged the lead out to seven points it was a real possibility. However, Tyrone scored just two points for the remainder of the game as Kerry cut loose with Pat Spillane and Mike Sheehy nabbing a goal each.
