Motivated Cats’ eyes on the prize, says Fogarty

IF you think that holders Kilkenny won’t be as psyched up taking on Limerick, as say Cork or Waterford in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final, then you’re sadly mistaken.

Selector and former U-21 coach Martin Fogarty explained: “Our guys want to beat them every bit as much as they wanted to beat Cork last year — because the prize is the same.

“Lads are always trying to give themselves reasons to win, but I would always maintain that the promise of an All-Ireland medal is as good as it gets. People can say you have added reasons, but how much more water can you put into a bucket when it’s full? A lad can only give 100%. People talk about 110% but I don’t think it exists.’’
