Seniors should sway it, but Kerry coach is urging caution

WITH four senior players in the line-up Kerry will be hot favourites to beat Waterford in the final of the Munster Under-21 football championship at Walsh Park tonight.

However, Kerry coach Jack O’Connor is preaching caution: “I was tremendously impressed by the way Waterford gave Cork a nine points start in the semi-final and came back to win on deservedly by two,” he said.

A selector when Kerry won the 1997 and 2000 All-Ireland senior titles, O’Connor, from the Dromid Pearse’s club in south Kerry, said Waterford have a great team spirit and are physically very strong.
