Revenge can inspire win for Rebels

THE marquee show tomorrow afternoon in Croke Park may be the Division One decider, but in terms of portents for the summer the Division Two final can be equally instructive.

Cork and Monaghan share the similar ranking of lying a couple of rungs below the top of the championship ladder and league silverware would be useful in fuelling hopes that they can make that leap in standings.

Kildare may be aggrieved at being usurped in the Division Two table by arithmetic, but tomorrow’s finalists have done enough over the course of the spring to justify their places at GAA headquarters.
