Cooper taking nothing for granted

KERRY All-Star Colm Cooper isn’t fretting over who the new Munster champions meet in the All-Ireland quarter final - he’s too concerned with opposition a little closer to home.

Such is the glut of attacking options available to Paidi O Sé that ten forwards will be vying for six starting positions on the first weekend in August at Croke Park.

Despite their prolific form last season, Kerry’s lethal corner-forwards Cooper and Mike Frank Russell were both replaced in Sunday’s provincial final victory over Limerick - and both their replacements, John Crowley and Aodhan MacGearailt, made scoring contributions.
