O’Neill: This isn’t the be-all and end-all

Kerry coach and selector Cian O’Neill is loathe to say Sunday’s game against Cork will have a championship feel — despite it being effectively a knock-out match for the county.

Defeat to their great rivals will all but mean Division 2 football for Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s team next season.

In a do-or-die situation for Kerry in a fixture that ignites passions regardless, the stakes are high but O’Neill is keen to put the game in perspective.
