Like last year, this year’s Moclair Cup decider will be a contest between the club that’s won the Senior county title more often than any other and a club that has yet to win it at all. Last year that meant a showdown between Ballina Stephenites and Westport and, while the Stephenites have made it back to a second successive […]
