Kerry fear back door trap door
O'Connor admits that a straight path through to the quarter-finals is "paramount", admitting: "A team on the road as long as some of our lads would find it hard to go through the back door, psychologically as well as anything else."
Ahead of Sunday's Munster final against old rivals Cork, he added: "I can see in the players' body language they are treating this as a once-off game. We are going flat out, we're not thinking of All-Irelands, we're thinking of a Munster Championship but victory would also enhance our chances of progressing further down the road."
