    Ciaran Thompson's shot is off target but we come back for a tap-over free and Michael Murphy is never going to miss that.

    Gavin White's wearing number seven but he's playing like an accomplished forward.

    A tight angle for Gavin White but it makes no difference as he splits the posts.

    Caolan McGonagle, the late change on the Donegal team, justifies his inclusion with a score. Both teams have brought their shooting boots.

    As expected, Brendan McCole is tasked with shadowing David Clifford.

    At the other end, Jason Foley is staying tight to Michael Murphy.

    Two key battles.

    I'm sure every one of these players has dreamt of playing in a final like this. Seeing the crowds and hearing the noise, it shows how much it means to so many people.

    There's nothing like the roar in the seconds before the ball is thrown in.

    It gets loud in the big house and today is no different.

    The atmosphere is electric.

    Both teams are here because their efficiency off the charts. When they get to that end of the pitch they get good chances. The biggest thing for Kerry today is patience.

    A bit of pre-game mind games perhaps as the Donegal squad make Kerry wait before they take off for the parade.

    "Can we have both teams for the parade?" is asked twice over the tannoy before the Ulster champions make their way over to the sideline.

    The change in the rules has reinvigorated everybody. It's been an unbelievable season. I think we could have one up on the hurling and it's been a while since we could say that. This is the culmination today.

    It's been the two best teams in the country today. I expect to see the best of both teams today.
