Second cruciate injury a ‘devastating blow’ for Kerry’s Moran

Kerry boss Jack O’Connor last night described David Moran’s second cruciate injury in the space of 10 months as a “devastating blow,”.

The Kerins O’Rahillys man severed the ligament in his left knee while training with the Tralee club last week — the same cruciate he tore last April. The problem was diagnosed in Dublin’s Santry Sports Clinic on Saturday and means the 23-year-old is likely facing another season on the sidelines.

Moran had just returned to Kerry panel having recovered from tearing the cruciate in a league game against Monaghan last April.
