Kilmoyley boss Daly ready for Douglas challenge

IT’S another tough ask for Kerry senior hurling champions Kilmoyley this year, as once again they face the Cork champions in the first round of the Munster intermediate club championship (like several counties in other provinces, the Kerry senior champions are allowed compete at the lower grade).

Last year they came up against a rampant Blarney team which was celebrating its first title at that grade in 70 years, and which went on to capture Munster and All-Ireland honours. This year they meet Douglas, conquerors of Ballymartle in a high-quality Cork final, and confirming that form by winning the Cork intermediate league last weekend.

In Cork senior star Eoin Cadogan at centre-back and Cork intermediate All-Ireland winner Stephen Moylan at wing-forward, Douglas have two instantly recognisable names, but the strength of the Cork city side goes well beyond those two.
