O'Sullivan: Kerry ready to repel Rebels

DECLAN O'SULLIVAN was looking forward this week, not back.

He led his Kerry teammates to the brink of glory last September, only for Tyrone to intervene on All-Ireland final day. An outside observer might view Kerry's defeats in the McGrath Cup final and their opening NFL game against Mayo were evidence of a hangover, but the Dromid Pearses man says there'll be no problem motivating his teammates for tonight's game.

Then again, they are playing Cork.
