Moycullen who will face Killererin in the county quarter finals in three weeks time had a good win over Naomh Anna Leitir Móir in Pearse stadium last weekend, winning on a score-line of 1-16 to 1-11.

Sean O’ Dea’s team are improving with each outing and the return of former Galway star, Paul Clancy has provided a real central point to their attack.

Based on the form he showed last Saturday there are few full-backs in the county who would fancy an hour in his company, and his potential duel with Killererin full-back Colin Forde is one to really look forward to.
