O’Sullivan: Rebels are a bigger threat than ever before

THREE times in the last five seasons, Kerry have extinguished Cork’s All-Ireland hopes in Croke Park but Kingdom captain Declan O’Sullivan believes his Munster neighbours have finally found their feet at Headquarters.

Every one of those three victories was achieved comfortably by the champions but the margins have been dwindling since the 15-point mauling in 2002.

Two years ago, there was still 13 points separating the parties but that dwindled to half a dozen last season.
