Minors facing into opening day ‘unknown’

They have sampled the senior management game in recent years but these days Ephie Fitzgerald and Mickey Ned O’Sullivan are focusing on the underage ranks.

After filling roles with the Limerick senior footballers, they have returned to their native counties with Fitzgerald in charge of the Cork minors and O’Sullivan at the helm of the Kerry minors. Tonight they set out on the championship road as the first round of the Munster MFC takes place at 7pm with Cork travelling to play Limerick in the Gaelic Grounds and Kerry entertain Tipperary in Austin Stack Park.

“It’s been very enjoyable,” said Fitzgerald.
