Dual star Seamus Kennedy is hoping to crown a memorable year with victory in Sunday's Munster club SFC final.

Kennedy won his second All-Ireland SHC medal with Tipperary in August and is now gunning for his second provincial football medal with Commercials who are aiming to repeat their sensational 2015 Munster final win over Nemo Rangers in Dungarvan.

"To be honest with you I played as much football as hurling growing up," he told RTE.

"Obviously, Clonmel is a football area. We had our last group game the Sunday after the All-Ireland Final. We were through already so I played that to get the legs moving again and get a bit of running into me. 

"It's great. I love the two of them and having played so much hurling from November until August, it really freshened things up for me. Mentally, I was really looking forward to go back playing the football."

Kennedy is acutely aware of the task facing the Tipperary champions this weekend.

"We've mainly looked at ourselves. Obviously, we're going to give Nemo the respect that they deserve. They have some unbelievable players, especially in the forward-line. We're mainly trying to iron out the few bits we feel we can improve on," he continued.

"We're under no illusion about the challenge that's facing us but we do feel we've a very good group of players at the minute that have put in a huge effort all year. Especially the club players, they've really driven it this year. 

"We're just keen to put our own stamp on the game on Sunday."
