DERRY will want to wash the bitter taste of this year’s championship so far out of their mouths ahead of this weekend’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry.

A rematch of last year’s semi-final, if last time out for the sides was anything to go by then we will be in for a clash of the titans as Mickey Harte looks to redeem his first season in charge of the Oak Leafers.

Kerry themselves come into this in decent form, recovering their goal-scoring form in recent games after a dry patch, scoring one goal in three months between March and May.

David Clifford and Co will be hoping that they can go one better than last year and win their 39th Sam Maguire Cup.
