McGrath: AFL exports key to ending Aussie series control

INTERNATIONAL Rules manager Pete McGrath will call on Irish AFL exports Setanta Ó hAilpín and Tadhg Kennelly in a bid to end Australian dominance of the hybrid series.

Kennelly, starring with the Sydney Swans, and Carlton Blues club man Ó hAilpín look set to be key men in McGrath’s effort to bring Ireland back to winning ways on home soil.

“It remains to be seen whether they have the upper hand,” McGrath said.
