Champs hold no fears for us, warns Louth boss McEneaney

MOST supporters, even those of the most pessimistic bent, are inclined to hold off until the first few rounds of the National League at least before despairing of their county’s chances of shining come the summer.

In Louth, it would be fair to say that the knockers were clearing their throats as early as last October, when the county was handed the short straw of a Leinster first round game against Dublin. And at Croke Park to boot.

Even at that distance, the news could have cast a shadow over the side’s entire season but manager Eamonn McEneaney adopted the perfect tone in formulating his response.
