Hopes, ambitions, dreams: Let championships commence

All over Ireland clubs are girding their loins for championship action. In Cork there are newcomers to senior football, there’s senior football royalty, and there are dual clubs trying to balance commitments. Michael Moynihan sampled views from some of them

Keith Moynihan’s Mallow side face Valley Rovers this evening in the Cork senior football championship. Having won the premier intermediate grade last year on Leeside, Mallow have found the air thin at senior level.

“We had a difficult assignment away to Clonakilty in the first round of the league and were very unhappy about how that went,” said Moynihan of their spring outing.
