Moylan the ace as Youghal master Newmarket

Youghal 1-10 Newmarket 1-6

But there was a shining light in the shape of Youghal’s Paul Moylan. No question this Evening Echo Cork Co Premier IFC backdoor contest needed a bright spark and the sweet boot of the wing forward, who accounted for all but one point of his side’s total, provided it.

Moylan was inspirational, particularly in the closing five minutes when the game was still in the balance. True, most of his scores — including a penalty — came from dead ball situations. But, he was Newmarket’s nemesis, his positioning and easy movement always making him a thorn in the Duhallow side’s defence.
