Paddy Codd says Tipperary are no longer overawed by the prospect of facing Kerry.

Not only have the Blue & Gold cast aside their inferiority complex but Codd insists they will travel to Killarney this weekend believing they can scalp the mighty Kingdom:

"It's something we look forward to now every year, having to face Kerry," the Premier County full back quips in today's Irish Examiner.

"I suppose when I first played Kerry four years ago it was a daunting task, and when you meet anyone at home and tell them you got Kerry they'll laugh and say 'Oh sure ye might have a run in the qualifiers'.

"But I think we've got used to playing them and we're not overawed by it any more. We'll go down and treat them with respect but they'll treat us with respect too.

"We'll go there feeling we can win; if you don't go down with some sort of belief then you're going nowhere. That's down to playing well though, if you get too caught up in winning then you're not going to win." Tweet
