Setanta set for training grind

SETANTA Ó hAilpín and his new Carlton playing colleagues were handed a single sheet of paper yesterday. On it was a list of items required for a weekend training session.

Ó hAilpín and his companions were required to bring a: sleeping bag, pillow, small mattress, training gear, boots and runners, bathers (togs) and goggles, wetsuit (not compulsory) and golf clubs if possible.

The GAA world he left behind must never have seemed further away.
