Kerry's Darren O'Sullivan is looking for the All-Ireland Champions to book their fifth consecutive All-Ireland SFC final place this Sunday when they take on Cork again at Croke Park. Back in 2004, Kerry defeated Mayo to add to their string of crowns but lost out on an All-Ireland title to Tyrone by a single point, however have since drubbed Mayo and Cork in the deciders to set this season up for a three-in-a-row title bid. Last Sunday saw Cork smash a eight-point deficit to force a draw against Kerry, and O'Sullivan, who had came on in the matched a scored, is hoping that his team-mates can put that right this weekend. "It's a few years since we haven't been in the final and we don't want it to start this year now," O'Sullivan is quoted as saying in the Irish Mirror. "It's an All-Ireland semi-final with a place in the All-Ireland final at stake and we have a good record in semi-finals. "It's disappointing we didn't get through when we looked to be heading for a place in the final. "But we have another tough game ahead of us again so we just want to concentrate on that now." Kerry's semi-final replay with Cork throws in at 2.00pm at Croke Park this Sunday, August 31, before Tyrone and Wexford meet to decide who will fill the All-Ireland final fixture against Munster opposition.
