Moran finding his range for Ballagh

Mayo manager James Horan will have been encouraged to hear that county captain Andy Moran took another big step on his road to recovery last Saturday evening.

The 28-year-old, who only returned to competitive action last month after nine months out with a cruciate knee ligament injury, played a starring role for his club in the county championship.

Moran started for Ballaghaderreen for the first time in 11 months in their Mayo SFC second round victory at home to Garrymore and came through the 60 minutes unscathed and helped himself to 1-2 from play for good measure as the defending county champions put their visitors to the sword.
