Mayo captain Stephen Coen says he's anticipating a "cracking game" when the Connacht champions take on Cork in this weekend's All-Ireland U21FC final.

The Westerners are gunning for their first success in the competition since 2006, when they edged the same opposition by two points, and Coen is expecting Saturday evening's showdown at Cusack Park in Ennis (throw-in 6pm) to be a similarly tight affair against the Rebels. 

"We played before them the last day so we got to see them in the second game. They're a great team, great power, pace, work really hard," Coen told the Irish Independent.

"I suppose Cork's win against Monaghan and their win against Kerry instilled a belief in them too.

"It's going to be two teams with great belief in themselves, so it's going to be a cracking game."
