Moloney upbeat about title prospects

Eddie Moloney lines out in the opening contest of the TRM/SJI Premier Series in Louth this weekend, confident he can take back-to-back titles.

The Kilkenny rider left it until the final to claim last year’s Premier Series, finishing with a flourish and victory to overhaul Peter Smyth.

With due consideration to the vagaries of fate and the loss of the impressive Slieveanorra, Moloney yesterday felt he had reason to be upbeat.
