Cooper says Cork are favourites

June 18, 2008
Colm Cooper has insisted that Cork are favourites to beat Kerry in next month's Munster SFC final, despite the Kingdom's annihilation of their near neighbours in last year's All-Ireland final. The 'Gooch' reckons that home advantage could tilt the game in the Rebel County's favour. He said: "It's a big game. I suppose Cork will come into it as favourites, it will suit them down to the ground that it's at Pairc Ui Chaoimh. "They will be really looking forward to it after the All-Ireland last year not going so well for them and the Munster final in Killarney. "But it's always a huge day and there's usually nothing between the two sides, as we saw last year (in the Munster final). They will come in nicely under the radar and we'll just have to try to get ready for them."
