Johnny Buckley says Kerry are preparing for a massive test against Mayo on Sunday.

The Kingdom and Mayo will lock horns at Croke Park for a place in this year's All-Ireland SFC final and Kerry captain Buckley is expecting Stephen Rochford's men to push the Munster champions all the way:

"We're very much talking about our own tactics, talking about where we can improve, focusing on training and getting our side of stuff right," the Dr Crokes clubman told gaa.ie. "For us it's just to get things as right as we can for what we know will be a huge battle.

"We saw what they brought the last day, they had a serious performance against a Roscommon team that showed themselves to be a very good side in the previous game. Look, we know what they're going to bring. We're just going to try to get as right as we can for it."
