Tipperary football manager Peter Creedon says the Premier County will topple Kerry - some day!

Tipp travel to Killarney for their Munster SFC opener on Sunday afternoon - the fourth successive season the two sides have met - and Corkman Creedon points out in today's Irish Examiner that his team is better prepared than ever:

"I suppose we'd a honeymoon last year as we got a great run in the championship.

"This year has been tough, we've been trying to bed in some of the younger players with the senior squad and trying to up the standards of the physical preparation.

"The league didn't go perfectly, there's no point saying otherwise, but we're in a better position facing Kerry than we were twelve months ago.

"This year is we're going to Kerry with the 20 or 21 players we had last year whereas for the few years before that, we were chopping and changing. You're not going to build momentum at this level in that fashion.

"We can't do anything about the draw. I love playing Kerry personally, I always have. Kerry or Cork are great draws.

"We haven't been able to bridge the gap between them in recent years but there'll come a day Tipp will beat them. I'm not saying it will be Sunday but some day." Tweet
