Morgan wary of ‘Fermanagh factor’ against Sligo

CORK boss Billy Morgan is fearful that qualifier opponents Sligo have the potential to do “a Fermanagh” next Saturday.

"Cast your mind back just 12 months ago and people were saying the same about Fermanagh and we all know what happened in that game. We'll have to be very careful on Saturday against Sligo. We'll have to be up for this game like we were for the Munster final against Kerry, if not even more.

"No disrespect to Sligo but I was half hoping we'd draw Derry because at least you would have to be at your very best against them. The disappointment of the Munster final defeat by Kerry is behind us and we've had time to focus in on the qualifiers. The response from the players has been very positive and they are looking forward to proving their worth in the All-Ireland series."
