Cooper holds key for Kerry

JUST a short few weeks ago, Kerry and Armagh were being talked up as the major contenders for the Sam Maguire Cup and that may very well prove to be the case as the season develops.

Whether or not Joe Kernan’s team will progress through Ulster is open to debate following their draw last weekend, and now the question can be asked as to whether Kerry can be depended on to live up to their reputation when they square up to Limerick in tomorrow’s Munster SFC semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds.

Potentially, the reigning All-Ireland champions are best equipped to be every bit as successful because, unlike Armagh, they have youth on their side and, more pertinently, their have strength in depth in attack.
