Kingdom blow as Moran out for season

KERRY boss Jack O’Connor last night backed midfielder David Moran to recover from a season ending cruciate knee injury sustained in Sunday’s league win over Monaghan.

Moran’s worst fears were confirmed by a scan at the Sports Surgery Clinic in Santry yesterday with renowned surgeon Ray Moran revealing the Kerins O’Rahilly’s player had torn the cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The news represents a serious blow to Kerry’s prospects as Moran had displayed impressive form in the league and looked poised to nail down a midfield spot for the championship.
