Kilskyre and Moylagh join up

Former inter-county footballers Paddy Gilsenan and Peadar Byrne will be on the same team this year in the IHC.

Kilskyre and Moylagh were given the green light to amalgamate for adult hurling in 2016 at Monday night's county committee meeting in Dunganny.

The application requested participation in the IHC and Division Two HL. Wolfe Tones delegate Philip O'Brien suggested that the amalgamation might be too strong for the intermediate grade.

However, Ollie Melia said that Moylagh had suffered from heavy beatings in the IHC last year and were hit by emigration.

Cathal Joyce of Clann nan Gael supported the amalgamation's participation in the IHC.
