Macroom boss fancies upset
March 05, 2010
De La Salle, Macroom boss Eric Graham is "quietly confident" that his side can upset St. Brendan's of Killarney in Sunday's Corn Ui Mhuiri final at Knocknagree.
After knocking out All-Ireland holders Colaiste Na Sceilge in the semi-final, the Sem are warm favourites to lift the Munster crown, but Graham is giving his underdogs every chance.
"Realistically, St. Brendan's are entitled to be favourites, having eliminated Colaiste Na Sceilge in the semi-final, a game I always felt could go either way because it was a local derby," he said in the Corkman.
"But I'm convinced we have a lot going for us, bearing in mind we have won our last six games. We will be hoping for the best, and we certainly won't be going to Knocknagree merely to make up the numbers.
"It would also be a merited reward for all the hard work they have put in in the meantime, and I must admit I'm quietly confident we can upset the odds."
