McDermott embracing Monaleen challenge

HE’S been down this road before.

Double-jobbing on the provincial club and intercounty stages is not a new experience for Michéal McDermott. In fact he’s been quite successful at it.

At the end of the 2009 season McDermott helped steer Kilmurry-Ibrickane to a notable Munster club SFC triumph at the same time that he was beginning life as Clare senior football manager. Two years on he is still at the helm of the Banner county and is already getting things into place for their 2012 campaign. And on top of that he is embracing a new challenge with Limerick’s Monaleen as he oversees their preparations for tomorrow’s Munster Club SFC quarter-final with UCC.
