Former Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice says he doesn’t anticipate a cagey encounter when the Kingdom meet Dublin in Sunday week’s All-Ireland SFC final.

Both teams came through stern tests over the weekend to book another Sam Maguire Cup decider date against each other and, speaking on the RTE GAA podcast, Fitzmaurice expects the two footballing giants to serve up a cracker.

"Any time that Kerry and Dublin play, it's often a six and six contest up front where both teams will play with six forwards and play them as forwards," he said.

"But at the same time when they're out of possession then both sides will be trying to get plenty of bodies back into their own half and defend in numbers as well.

"But these games tend to take a life of their own. We haven't been disappointed by too many Kerry-Dublin games over the years and I don't expect the final to be any different.

"Both teams have had indifferent patches to their seasons but both of them are really coming to the boil at the right time."
