Moran wary of ‘fast moving’ Limerick

DERRY manager Mickey Moran accepts that the meeting with Limerick in the fourth round of the Bank of Ireland football qualifiers in Dr. Hyde Park on Saturday represents something of a trip into the unknown.

Moran was coach to the team which beat Cork in the 1993 All-Ireland final and in recent years had spells with Sligo and Donegal before he took over his native county for the second time.

“I had the feeling that this was Limerick’s year in Munster and that they had a good chance of beating Kerry in the replay, but you couldn’t call which team would be going into the draw on Sunday evening - especially after the first game,’’ he said. “Kerry did just about enough in the second game to beat them, but they are a tough proposition.’’
