Marc Ó Sé thinks Derry are the biggest threat to Dublin and Kerry’s 2024 All-Ireland SFC ambitions.

The Oak Leafers have won the last two Ulster SFC titles and have also contested back-to-back All-Ireland semi-finals, and are hoping to take the next step under new manager Mickey Harte.

"That is the challenge for those teams, to make the breakthrough,” former Kerry star Ó Sé told reporters at the launch of the GAAGO 2024 schedule earlier this week.

"It comes in cycles too, it was all northern teams in ’91, ’92, ’93, ’94 – Down, Derry, Donegal, Down.

"There are probably five or six teams. Dublin at the top then Derry and Kerry. Then Armagh are there or thereabouts, Galway, Mayo, Tyrone, Monaghan.

"You’re looking at one of those teams to try and make the breakthrough. It’s very hard, as you can see.

"Derry are probably the best team to do it... they’ve had a few minor successes in recent times and they are maybe maturing. It’s maybe their time to really step forward next season under Mickey Harte, a proven winner."
