Fitzgerald wary of O’Rahillys challenge

NEMO Rangers boss Ephie Fitzgerald admits his side face a difficult opening to the defence of their Munster Club SFC crown next Sunday when they face Kerry’s Kerins O’Rahillys at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Kerins O’Rahilly’s victory over South Kerry in last Saturday’s Kerry SFC semi-final replay ensured they will be the Kingdom representatives in this year’s Munster championship, with their county final against Mid Kerry set for Sunday week, November 16. Fitzgerald has been impressed with the Strand Road side’s recent run of form.

“I’ve been watching the Kerry championship over the last few weeks and they were the best side by far. Outside of Dr Crokes they are the top club side in Kerry.
