Kerry are hungrier, says Sheehan

If Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final boils down to hunger, Bryan Sheehan believes Kerry will prevail.

The Kingdom's captain is in bullish mood ahead of the eagerly-anticipated showdown.

"I don't see how they can be hungrier than what we are," he pointed out to The Examiner.

"They are the All-Ireland champions. They beat us in 2013, 2015, in the league - if you haven't got more in the gut to win a breaking ball or track a run than what Dublin have, then something is wrong with you. I think, for us, that's the key: that we should be more hungry than Dublin.

"I'm sure Dublin are going to be hungry. They don't like losing to Kerry. They don't want to be dethroned. They want to go for the two-in-a-row that hasn't been done since we did it in '06, '07.

"I imagine they're going to be hungry but I don't see how they should be hungrier than us. We don't fear Dublin. We just feel the last couple of times we've played them we haven't played to our capabilities."
