Tramore-born Geary happy to cheer Nemo

TRAMORE-born and a Waterford footballer in all grades before he threw in his lot with Cork, Niall Geary will be re-visiting familiar territory when Nemo Rangers travel to Limerick champions Drumcollogher-Broadford in Drumcollogher for Sunday’s Munster SFC club semi-final.

Tramore-born Geary happy  to cheer Nemo

His father Martin, winner of six senior hurling championship medals with Mount Sion and a member of the Waterford team which shocked Cork in the 1974 Munster championship in Walsh Park, comes from the neighbouring parish of Milford and played with both Drumcollogher and Broadford when they were separate entities.
