Kerry manager Éamonn Fitzmaurice is adamant that they will have to play to their full potential if they are to defeat Cork in the Munster SFC final.

The Kingdom are strong favourites to retain the provincial title and following their five-star performance against Clare in the semi-final, there is a lot of talk of just how good this Kerry team is.

Fitzmaurice does not buy into all the talk about All-Irelands and he is not looking beyond Saturday's clash against the Rebels at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

"If we are going to win we have to go up and we have to perform and perform close to the top of our ability. If we don't we will be beaten," Fitzgerald told the Kerryman.

"We know that ourselves and we've shown it plenty of times, we've shown it during the league that when we are on and play well, we're capable of delivering big performances, but when we're off, we can be poor.

"We need to bring it and we need to play. And if we play at the top of our game, it will take a good team to beat us. It is very black and white."
