Pete calls on Setanta to show Aussies how

NEW Irish manager Pete McGrath wants ex-Cork hurling star Setanta Ó hAilpín to be part of his squad for next month’s International Rules Series against Australia in Croke Park.

Ó hAilpín, now playing with Aussie Rules club Carlton, was yesterday included in a provisional panel of 42 players - representing 18 counties - along with Tadhg Kennelly, who played in the series two years ago and has been starring this season with Sydney Swans.

Notable absentees include Armagh captain Kieran McGeeney and injured Kerry duo Darragh Ó Sé and Seamus Moynihan. Padraic Joyce will captain the side.
