Cork ace Canty to be named Irish captain

CORK’S Graham Canty will tomorrow be named captain of Ireland’s International Rules squad for Australia.

The Bantry ace will follow in the footsteps of Anthony Tohill and John McDermott and lead his country into the two-match series next month in Perth and Melbourne.

However, there are further injury concerns for manager John O’Keeffe, with Kerry’s Darragh O Sé now unlikely to make the trip due to a persistent ankle problem.
