O'Sullivan: We're happy to be underdogs

Limerick football manager Mickey Ned O'Sullivan says that his he and his players are content with being underdogs for the Munster SFC final against Cork in just over a week's time.
The Kerry native has acknowledged the Rebels as one of the favourites to capture this year's Sam Maguire crown, and has pointed out a gulf in class between the two sides in regards to their league status.
"It's all in the melting pot," said O'Sullivan.
"We are in no doubt that we are playing a Cork team that are some people's favourites to win the All-Ireland.
"They showed up very well against Kerry. At the end of the day this final is between a Division Four team against a Division One team."
The fact that this year's southern provincial decider takes place at Pairc Ui Caoimh also plays into the hands of the defending champions, but O'Sullivan is happy enough for Conor Counihan's side to be given all the pressure.
"We know that we are the underdogs and we don't mind, but I always say that football is played on the pitch," added the Treaty boss.
