Morgan says pace the key to Kerry attack

A lack of pace essentially cost towering forward Kieran Donaghy his place in Kerry’s Munster football final team.

That’s the belief of former All-Ireland-winning Cork manager and player Billy Morgan, who reckons Kerry will attempt to take Cork’s key defenders out of the game on Sunday with an attacking approach full of pace and craft.

Morgan identified Cork defenders Michael Shields and Eoin Cadogan as two players who deal well with physical opponents but may not be as comfortable marking fast forwards, perhaps the reason why Donaghy was replaced by the speedy Darran O’Sullivan.
