Boyles playing a big part for Kingdom

IF HURLING was horse racing, then the Boyles from Ballyduff would be thoroughbreds. On Saturday Mikey will lead out a Kerry side into Croke Park for the Christy Ring Cup final alongside brothers Liam, Aidan and Pádraig.

A proud day for dad Liam and mom Helen who produced six hurling sons and daughter Louise. Liam won 10 county SHC medals with Ballyduff and Helen is sister of the great Pat Moriarty of Causeway who won an All-Ireland junior title with Kerry and played with Munster in the Railway Cup.

Kenneth and Colm are not involved in Sunday, with the former now retired and Colm concentrating on hurling with the very famous and successful Ballyduff club.
