Morgan makes Kingdom favourites for Sam

August 28, 2007

Cork manager Billy Morgan
Cork football supremo Billy Morgan says the Kingdom's display against Dublin and their performances traditionally in "big games" makes them favourites to land the Sam Maguire Cup next month. The Rebel County will face Kerry in this year's All-Ireland SFC final but Morgan maintains that his side will be the underdogs. "I thought they had too much class for Dublin when it mattered," said the Cork manager. "Dublin came back towards the end, but Kerry never panicked and used all their experience when it mattered. "Many would have thought when Darragh O Se went off injured that they would have been in trouble but it mattered little to them. "That performance and the fact that they are contesting their fourth final in a row entitles them to be favourites for the final, but Kerry are always favourites in big games."
