Déise’s Carew hopes he can be one to break Kerry spell

Waterford manager Niall Carew prefers to look at the opportunity rather than the threat.

The Déise haven’t beaten Kerry in championship football since 1957, yet hope springs eternal that Sunday’s fixture could bring an end to five decades of torment.

“I think that you have to think it’s a possibility,” he says. “The way I look at it is that every year Waterford, Limerick, Tipperary and Clare have a massive opportunity to take a big scalp. A massive opportunity, it’s there in front of them.”
