Try telling Kerry they’re in transition

Munster SFC Semi-Final

Perhaps it was due to the fact that covering election results for Radió na Gaeltachta could have only limited appeal when there’s a big match on up the road – or maybe there was a sense that both Cork and Kerry’s familiarity with one another had exhausted our reserves of enthusiasm for the fixture. However, for some reason the big Munster derby didn’t get me going last year.

There is a general anticipation these days that Kerry and Cork will meet at a later stage in the championship and because only Fermanagh, apart from Kerry, have beaten Cork in championship football since 2004, things may have gone a bit stale for the punters, if not for the players.
