Canty wants revenge

Cork full back Graham Canty
Cork captain Graham Canty is eager to avenge last year's humiliating All-Ireland football final defeat to Kerry in this year's Munster final. The Munster heavyweights will be expected to overcome Limerick and Clare in their respective semi-finals on Sunday to pave the way for another provincial final showdown at Pairc Ui Chaoimh next month. "What happened last year was a tough one to take, it's hard to lose to Kerry any time and to lose in an All-Ireland final was a whole new experience for everybody," the All-Star full back said. "It was very disappointing. When you come to Croke Park to play in an All-Ireland final, you want to do yourself justice number one and number two you're hoping to come way with a victory. We didn't do either. "You have to learn from the mistakes you made and that's what we'll be trying to do this year." He added: "We're behind Kerry a small bit, they showed that in the final last year, but we'd be hoping we're not that far behind them. "We think if we can get a couple of things right and play to form that we're as good as maybe anyone."
