Kelly wary of revenge factor

Portumna manager Johnny Kelly knows Ballyhale Shamrocks are all out for revenge.

When Port' put their All-Ireland title on the line in Wednesday's keenly-anticipated decider at Croke Park, Kelly accepts that the Kilkenny champions will be seeking payback:

"Revenge is a great motivating factor. Listening to some of their comments in the media in the last while, they have set their sights on Portumna since early on last year.

"Fair play to them. They are here now and we have a huge task ahead of us. We will have to wait and see if we are up for it.

"We will concentrate on our own strengths, I suppose. Ballyhale know us inside-out by now and we hope that we know them as well.

"We will stick to the way we play. We don't really vary it too much. It is all about aggression and putting in the tackles and our pressure game and moving the ball quickly when we get it."
