Brian Hurley is savouring the challenge of taking on Kerry in Killarney in the 2015 Munster SFC final.
The Kingdom thumped the Rebels by 0-24 to 0-12 in the corresponding fixture at Pairc Ui Chaoimh last year but Hurley says it's a whole new game and sees no reason why the Leesiders can't reverse that chastening result:
"Since I was a boy, all I wanted was to go down and play football against Kerry, and I'm lucky enough to have that opportunity. Would I fear them? No. We've won minor down there, five years ago, so that's what I remember. The last 20 years aren't what I'd be looking at - my focus is Sunday in Killarney," the Castlehaven clubman insists in The Irish Examiner.
"People are quick to change their minds and to cut throats, but if there are 10 people down there or 20,000, or 40,000, as long as I'm playing in a Munster final, I'll enjoy it as much as I can. What people think of how we're going, that doesn't really concern me, as long as our camp has the focus right.
"You have to have confidence going into a game. We're not cocky but we believe we can win it. You'd be crazy to be going into a Munster final if you didn't believe you could win it."
