Kingdom coach begins the mind games with Limerick
As the Kingdom selectors finalised their team last night for Sunday’s Munster football final trip to Limerick, O’Connor, in his first year as coach, claimed that pressure is mounting on Liam Kearns’ side to go the extra step and win a trophy.
“There’s always expectation in Kerry, but it has reached the point where there’s a fair bit of pressure on Limerick to win as well”, he said. “They’ve beaten Cork and ran us close on a couple of occasions. But it comes to the stage when moral victories aren’t enough. There’s an expectation now that they can win the game and win a Munster title and that brings its own pressures.
