Galway manager Joe Kernan has backed Corofin to upset St. Gall's in tonight's rescheduled All-Ireland club football semi-final at Parnell Park.

Kernan feels that the delay could affect St Gall's more than Corofin because the Belfast side have been accorded the status of favourites.

"Portlaoise were a team that everyone had fancied, but now they're gone," Kernan said in the Irish Independent.

"That can actually have an effect on how you prepare this week, because if you're starting to think about the final and who's in it, you could be in trouble. What both teams need to do is forget about the final - and I think Corofin could catch St Gall's because of that."

The Armagh man added: "It's a match of two sort of opposite teams. Corofin are a dogged championship team, they can grind out a result.

"St Gall's would probably call themselves more of a flair team. They've been there, they've knocked on the door, they were disappointed a few years ago and now they're back." Tweet
