But a quirk of fate catapulted the 35-year-old into the side which has progressed to Sunday’s county decider against a Dingle side contesting their first final since 1951.

Yet that is only half the story of Moloney’s incredible elevation, with the former star midfielder now goalkeeper for the Killarney giants.
