Political gains or bragging rights………..probably the later.

The Plunketts very own Cathal “Big Drum” Mallaghan will no doubt be looking to put his Sinn Fein team mate John McNamee to the sword come Saturdays Fight Night. Cathal will be looking to use his reach advantage but has been warned about the use of his acting skills to go down easy as the result of a phantom punch. Brendan Fullen noticed irregular betting activity for a fall in the 2nd and closer investigation showed that substantial bets had been placed by both Mallaghan and McNamee on that particular outcome.

This could be described as the “Clash Of The Political Titans” with some commentators claiming that “Pomeroy’s Cathal Mallaghan is aiming to go the distance with the ballet box in one hand………and a massive fist in the other”.
