Kerry on course for a hat trick

I think that Kerry served out a warning to the rest of the country today with the ease which they saw off Galway to qualify for the National League football final.
The Kingdom won by five points but they appear as if they still have so much more in the tank.
They blunted the much praised Galway attack and I think they have brought a little perspective back into just what the Tribesmen have achieved so far this season.
Galway are a good side, they are an attractive side to watch but I don't see an All Ireland in this team and I think that Joe Bergin is a big loss to the Westerners.
I think they will go as far as this year's All-Ireland semi finals this season but they have still much to learn.
Kerry meanwhile were able to give the Gooch a run-out, and their strength in depth is awesome, they have competition for places all over the field.
Tomas Ó Sé showed his value again for his side with a couple of great bursts forward near the end when others were fading. He is a great half back.
Kerry look to me to have plenty in the locker and they are a more complete side now than when they began their current All-Ireland odyssey in 2006.
They have set down the marker for this year's championship, it is going to need a very big performance from someone to stop them doing their first three in row since '84-'86.
