"We don't ever fear Kilkenny, we never did"

Padraic Maher insists Tipperary have no fear of Kilkenny.
The Cats have won seven of the last eight championship meetings of the teams but Maher says the Premier County can reverse that trend in this year's Liam MacCarthy Cup decider:
"Baggage with us? No. We don't ever fear Kilkenny, we never did. Look, we came up against them in '09, '10, 2011 when they were a top-class team," the eThurles arsfiels clubman states in The Irish Times.
"People have doubted them the last few years and they keep coming and coming. You saw [against Waterford] again, bringing in new lads and delivering the goods again. We are under no illusions. We have loads of young lads in there as well and they are mad for action too. That will bring them on a huge amount again. It has the makings of a cracking final.
"We struggle to get over the line against them. It is up to us to turn the tables. We are under no illusions. We know each other inside out at this stage. We know we just have to work even harder, and bring a performance with us, and see where it leaves us."
