Rusty champions still have too much in the tank

THE Kerry management have every reason to be fearful of the challenge posed by Monaghan in the last of the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals at Croke Park tomorrow (2pm).

There is the worry about a six week lay-off since the Munster Final and the fact that the manner of victory over Cork wasn’t overly convincing.

And, whether or not this is a better Monaghan team than the one which a Páidí Ó Sé captained side dismissed in a replay in the their last championship clash 22 years ago, it’s safe to say that they will not be intimidated by Kerry.
