Tompkins: Rebels have massive chance

THE last Corkman to lift the Sam Maguire Cup believes the Rebel county “have a massive chance” of bringing it back to the banks of the Lee after what it likely to be an epic encounter with Kerry tomorrow.

Larry Tompkins captained Cork 19 years ago when they beat Meath by 0-11 to 0-9 and he’s confident the men in red will prevail, especially if they can keep Colm Cooper under control.

“The Gooch is a very good forward and if Cork keep him quiet they’ll be 50% of the way there,” Larry said.
