Moloney back where it all began with Crokes

Four years ago he stood defeated in a Dr Crokes dressing room in Fitzgerald Stadium. Two broken ribs helped to focus his mind: enough, he was done.

It was November 2009 and David Moloney, the full-forward, had just lost his third county final to South Kerry, and he had to go back to 2000 for his last one. He was cashing in his chips.

He returned to the relative comfort of B football for 2010 and 2011 before a phone call in the summer of 2012 led him back to where it all started: between the posts.
