A first ever Cork SFC success will of no consolation to Ballincollig if they lose the Munster SFC semi-final against Austin Stacks tomorrow, according to John Miskella.

The 36-year-old former Cork star has his sights set on a bigger prize and they travel to Tralee to take on the Kerry champions tomorrow (2pm) in the provincial semi-final.

"We are not going to come off after losing to Stacks and say well we still had a great season," he said to The Examiner.  "There will be nothing but hurt if we lose."

Miskella admitted that they will have to come up with a plan to curb the influence of Kerry hero Kieran Donaghy.

"Donaghy has had a great year. His size and physical ability poses a threat around the box. We will no doubt have something prepared. If he dominates a game, he will hurt you. We have more than a couple of players who they will have to keep an eye on as well.

"We have tried to keep everything the same in our preparations, but I would be lying if I said the buzz wasn't greater."
