Kavanagh preaching caution
Yet this afternoon in the Gaelic Grounds, they will enter unchartered territory when they go toe to toe with Roscommon champions St Brigid’s. Still the Nemo Rangers players have individual experiences to draw on when it comes to informing themselves about their opponent’s capabilities.
“I marked Karol Mannion only last August in the All-Ireland quarter-final in Croke Park”, recalls Nemo Rangers full-back Derek Kavanagh. “He is a fine player. Then I remember when we lost to Roscommon up there in the qualifiers a good few years ago with Cork in 2003, Frankie Dolan would have been involved with them then. He’s a nice little player. I watched him on video the other day and he’s cute and clever. His passing is good and everything seems to go through him, he’ll be their playmaker.”
