Cooper and Ó hÁilpín tops

COLM COOPER is the next best player to Kerry great Maurice Fitzgerald in terms of his elusive style and kicking ability.

That’s the opinion Sean Óg Ó hÁilpin offered in Dublin yesterday where the pair were honoured as the Vodafone GAA ‘Players of the Month’ for September after the respective All-Ireland victories of Kerry and Cork.

Cooper, in turn, praised the Cork dual star as ‘a super athlete.’
