Kerry minor manager Peter Keane says there will be no room for complacency from his players when they face Cavan in Sunday's All-Ireland MFC semi-final at Croke Park.

The Kingdom boss admitted that his side had expected to face Galway in a repeat of last year's decider, but after the Breffni County's upset of the Tribesmen two weeks ago in Carrick-on-Shannon, Keane knows they'll be lining up against tough opposition in the beaten Ulster finalists.

"When you play an All-Ireland final that could have gone either way against a county that has 12 of that team available to them again like Galway had, you do keep track of how they are going," he told The Irish News.

"Obviously when you have a team like Cavan come back in the manner they did in their quarter-final it leaves you with a lot more respect of a team like Cavan."

He added: "You hope that (Hogan Cup matches at Croke Park) will stand to us again going up there but we have to remember that we hoped the experience our U17s gained from playing with the minors would stand to us in the All-Ireland U17 semi-final but ultimately that was not the case unfortunately."
