Carson flicks power switch

SHANE LOWRY wasn’t the only amateur sportsman to emerge from the shadows and win big on Sunday.

Ryan Carson’s story was just as uplifting as the Offaly golfer’s and, in some ways, even more unlikely.

Carson was the toast of Fermanagh at the weekend after scoring six points on his championship debut against Down. Twelve hours later he was flying back to Luton and his day job as an electricity power linesman.
