Kerry senior hurling manager Stephen Molumphy is sad to have to leave his current post. However duty calls for the army man and it’s off to Brussels for the next 12 months. The Ballyduff-Upper clubman admitted that he fought like hell to stay on.

“It is [emotional] I just wanted to talk to the players there," Molumphy said after his charges rounded off his tenure with a Joe McDonagh Cup victory over Meath on Saturday. "Within the last month I was given word of my next posting...basically I’ve been reposted to the EU military staff in Brussels. We’re going there for a year, 12 months. I was hoping basically to stay on, fought like hell to stay on because the potential here is something else.
